1. A power transmission apparatus for a hybrid vehicle, the power transmission apparatus comprising:
a motor housing disposed between an engine and a transmission;
at least one motor disposed in the motor housing and connected to a crankshaft of the engine or the transmission;
a torsion damper provided in the motor housing, disposed between the engine and the transmission, and having a radially outer side coupled to the at least one motor;
a spline hub connected to the torsion damper and configured to transmit driving power, which is transmitted to the torsion damper, to the transmission; and
a dust collector disposed in a working fluid flow path through which a working fluid introduced from the transmission passes through the torsion damper and flows toward the at least one motor, installed at a position spaced apart radially outward from the torsion damper, and configured to collect dust produced from the torsion damper and contained in the working fluid,
wherein the at least one motor comprises:
a first motor disposed in the motor housing and connected to the crankshaft of the engine; and
a second motor disposed adjacent to the first motor in an axial direction and connected to the transmission.
