Embodiments relate to an off-road vehicle comprising a frame, including at least one cargo box support member, a suspension movably coupled to the frame, a passenger compartment, an engine, a transmission operatively coupled to the engine, and a cargo box. The cargo box includes a floor and a plurality of upwardly extending sidewalls, wherein at least a portion of the cargo box floor extends over the at least one cargo box support member and wherein the cargo box is removably coupled to the at least one cargo box support members and is removable from the off-road vehicle via the removal of fewer than eight fasteners.

A vehicle body front structure includes a side frame and a tubular member. The side member extends in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle body. The side frame member is configured to have a closed hollow section in a vertical direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. The tubular member extends in the longitudinal direction within the side frame. The tubular member is configured to have a closed hollow section in the vertical direction. The tubular member is spaced apart from the side frame.

A motor vehicle includes an engine assembly housed in a bay, a subframe adjacent a bottom of the bay, a bulkhead adjacent a rear of the bay, and a catch structure extending laterally across the bay above the subframe and adjacent an upper end of the bulkhead. A lower catch hook is coupled to the engine assembly and configured to engage the subframe and transfer load from the engine assembly to the subframe when the engine assembly moves toward the bulkhead during a collision. An upper catch hook is coupled to the engine assembly and configured to engage the catch structure and transfer load from the engine assembly to the catch structure when the engine assembly moves toward the bulkhead during the collision. The catch structure may be a cable connected to left and right suspension towers.

Motor vehicle comprising a drive system arranged in a compartment at the front of a vehicle, a cradle (2) comprising a platform (4) fastened in this compartment in the region of a floor of the vehicle, an anti-roll bar (10) fastened in the vertical direction above the platform (4), and an impact device (30) fastened to a front edge (20) of the platform (4), behind an impact block fastened to a powertrain of this vehicle, in order, in the event of a recoil of this powertrain, to allow the impact block to bear on the impact device (30), which deforms, the impact device (30) comprising an upper part projecting above the platform (4), which, in the event of a large deformation, bears on the anti-roll bar (10).

An aspect of the present invention is directed to a vibration damping material for use in a mount part for supporting a motor, the vibration damping material including: a gel of a dehydration condensation reaction product of silicone oil and boric acid, wherein the boric acid is in an amount of 25 to 75 moles based on 100 moles of the total amount of the silicone oil and the boric acid.

A vehicle front structure includes a powertrain unit disposed in a front portion of a vehicle; a suspension cross member disposed behind the powertrain unit and extending in a vehicle width direction; and a bracket fastened to a boss portion provided in a housing of the powertrain unit. The bracket contacts a receiving surface of the suspension cross member due to backward movement of the powertrain unit during a vehicle front collision. The bracket includes a buffer portion disposed between a fastened portion that is fastened to the boss portion and a contact portion that contacts the receiving surface of the suspension cross member.

Methods and systems are provided for a fuel line attachment. In one example, a system comprises a fuel line attachment assembly comprising a fixed portion and a movable portion, wherein the movable portion is shaped to slide along a recess of the fixed portion in response to a vehicle collision.

A bracket (1) includes a bracket body (2) made of a synthetic resin and a reinforcement member (3) made of a fiber reinforced plastic. The bracket body (2) has a surrounding portion (20). The reinforcement member (3) extends in a surrounding direction. A reinforcement member arrangement portion (20a) of the surrounding portion (20) is formed of an outer circumference (211), an inner circumference (212), and a connecting portion (213). The reinforcement member arrangement portion (20a) is in the shape of a letter I in cross section in which the cross sectional width (W3) of the connecting portion (213) is narrower than the cross sectional width (W1) of the outer circumference (211) and the cross sectional width (W2) of the inner circumference (212). The reinforcement member (3) is arranged on the outer circumference (211).

Disclosed is an engine mount which includes a core installed in a case and supporting a load of an engine, an insulator mounted on the core and elastically deformed according to a load applied to the core, a diaphragm installed at a lower portion of the case, and an orifice assembly that divides a fluid-filled space between the insulator and the diaphragm into an upper liquid chamber and a lower liquid chamber and has at least one orifice for inducing a flow of fluid between the upper and lower liquid chambers, wherein the engine mount further includes a rubber membrane mounted between the orifice assembly and the insulator so as to be in close contact with a lower surface of the insulator, and wherein the orifice assembly includes a fluid transfer member for forcibly transferring a fluid, and operates according to driving conditions of a vehicle and selectively moves the fluid to the upper liquid chamber or the lower liquid chamber to regulate the liquid amount of the upper liquid chamber and the lower liquid chamber.

Suitable for frame vehicles, the kit provides a frame to be mounted on the chassis with attachment devices at a head section and at a middle section of the frame that supports an electric motor, a transmission and at least one battery system. Replacement of the conventional engine and transmission by the frame-mounted unit can be fast. The frame can be attached at the middle section using shear bolts to avoid impeding a crumple of the chassis during a front impact.
