PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicular drive device capable of improving fuel economy while suppressing increase in size of the device with a simple structure.SOLUTION: A vehicular drive device includes a chain drive mechanism in a case in which an oil storage part is formed. The vehicular drive device includes: a radial wall part 22 extending radially; a cover member 60 fixed to the radial wall part 22, and forming a storage chamber of the chain drive mechanism; and a first communication part G1 communicating the storage chamber and the oil storage part. The vehicular drive device also includes a second communication part G2 formed to the radial outside of an engagement region of a first sprocket, and communicating the storage space and another space in the case 2.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】簡易な構成で装置全体の大型化を抑制しながら、燃費の向上を図ることができる車両用駆動装置を実現する。【解決手段】本発明は、オイル貯留部が形成されたケース２内にチェーン駆動機構を備える車両用駆動装置に関する。車両用駆動装置は、径方向に延びる径方向壁部２２と、径方向壁部２２に固定されてチェーン駆動機構の収容室を形成するカバー部材６０と、収容室とオイル貯留部とを連通する第一連通部Ｇ１とを備える。また、第一スプロケットの噛合領域の径方向の外側に形成され、収容室とケース２内の他の空間とを連通する第二連通部Ｇ２を備える。【選択図】図６
