Disclosed is a power transmission apparatus for an automobile comprising an engine 1, a generator 15 driven by an output of the engine 1, and a motor 29 driven by a generation output of the generator 15 and a discharge output of a battery 47, wherein a clutch mechanism 23 is provided between an output shaft of the engine 1 and an output shaft of the generator 15. In a hybrid vehicle, a loss caused by an inertia torque of the generator can be avoided.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A power transmission apparatus for an automobile comprising:means for synthesizing or selectively switching a rotational force of an internal combustion engine and a rotational force of an electric motor to drive a drive wheel, means for converting the rotational force of said internal combustion engine or said drive wheel into electric power by a generator, means for supplying electric power to said electric motor;means for disconnecting said generator from a rotational force transmission system constructed by said internal combustion engine and said drive wheel, and means for selectively switching a first transmission system having a first transmission ratio, a second transmission system having a second transmission ratio, and a neutral state for disconnecting the rotational force transmission system such that where rotation is transmitted by said first transmission system, the rotational force transmission system is disconnected from said generator and where rotation is transmitted by said second transmission system, the rotational force transmission system is connected to said generator.
