According to the present invention, a first one-way clutch and a second one-way clutch operating in opposite directions are interposed in parallel between an engine and a power transmission unit of a hybrid drive module. The first one-way clutch transmits rotational force in a first direction from the engine to the power transmission unit, and does not transmit rotational force in a first direction from the power transmission unit to the engine. The second one-way clutch operates in an opposite manner to the first one-way clutch. Accordingly, in a state in which the first one-way clutch and the second one-way clutch both connect the engine and the power transmission unit, the engine and the power transmission unit are in a full locking state. The second one-way clutch may be controlled so as to connect or disconnect the engine and the power transmission unit by means of an independently controllable axial force.
