Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A rear wheel driving apparatus ( 1 ) includes: a first right-left communication passage (FP) through which a left reservoir (RL) and a right reservoir (RR) are communicated with each other; and a second right-left communication passage (SP) which is provided in parallel with the first right-left communication passage (FP) and through which the left reservoir (RL) and the right reservoir (RR) are communicated with each other. Thus, flowability of a liquid fluid stored in a case ( 11 ) is enhanced, and smoothing of a fluid level is enabled.
