An electric vehicle is shown. Specifically, an electric vehicle is shown which includes a front frame which forms left and right frame for of the front side of the electric vehicle; fastening part which is located on the inner side of the above front frame; includes a cross member which is connected to the above fastening member so that one side may be able to rotate; and a rotation prevention member which is located at the front part of the above cross member and the above cross member is formed at length toward the width direction of the above vehicle.

Methods and systems are provided for a powertrain support mount assembly. In one example, the powertrain support mount assembly comprises a first bracket and a second bracket, the second bracket comprising an engagement feature shaped to engage with the first bracket during a vehicle collision, which adjusts a load of the second bracket to decouple from the engage and avoid contacting an auxiliary component adjacent to the powertrain.

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.

An electric vehicle includes a dash panel, a master cylinder and an electrical unit. The master cylinder is arranged on a motor compartment side and the driver's seat side of the dash panel. The master cylinder is connected to a brake pedal in a vehicle passenger compartment. The electrical unit includes an inverter, a motor and a gearbox. The electrical unit is arranged side by side in the motor compartment in a left-right direction of the vehicle. The electrical unit is disposed in front of and below the master cylinder in the motor compartment in a front-rear direction of the vehicle.

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).

A mount assembly for attaching a cradle to a vehicle frame includes an inner sleeve. The inner sleeve defines an inner sleeve aperture having a first aperture portion having a first diameter and a second aperture portion having a second diameter. The mount assembly also includes a bushing having a bushing body and configured to extend through the first aperture portion. The mount assembly additionally includes a fuse fixed to the bushing body to separate the first and second aperture portions. The mount assembly also includes a fastener configured to extend through the bushing body and an aperture in the vehicle frame for attaching the cradle to the frame. The fuse is configured to separate from the bushing body under a predetermined load to permit the fastener to shift from the first aperture portion to the second aperture portion and the cradle to shift relative to the 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.

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.
