A vibration dampening engine mount configured to mount an engine to a vehicle frame includes: a first bolt receiver having a first through hole configured to receive a first bolt; a second bolt receiver having a second through hole configured to receive a second bolt; and a mass damper connector integrally connecting the first bolt receiver and the second bolt receiver, wherein the vibration dampening engine mount has a predetermined mass.

When an insulator is of non-circular shape, a spring ratio of an X direction to a Y direction is increased by utilizing this non-circular shape. A pair of direction elastic walls opposed to each other in the X direction is formed short and thin in the Y direction and has a small X direction projected area. Similarly, a second mounting metal fitting is formed in a rectangular shape extending long in the X direction and includes a pair of X direction restraint walls opposed to each other in the X direction and a pair of Y direction restraint walls opposed to each other in the Y direction. A first mounting metal fitting includes a pair of X direction restraint projecting parts opposed to each other in the X direction and a pair of Y direction restraint walls opposed to each other in the Y direction.

A vehicle includes a frame, a subframe, a powertrain, a steering gear, and a bracket. The subframe is fastened to the frame at a subframe attachment point, and the subframe is movable relative to the frame along a collision path in response to a frontal collision. The powertrain is attached to the subframe. The steering gear is coupled to the subframe and disposed in the collision path between the powertrain and the subframe attachment point. The bracket is attached to the powertrain and disposed in the collision path between the powertrain and the steering gear. The bracket is positioned to wedge the steering gear between the subframe and the frame during the frontal collision to deform the subframe at the subframe attachment point.

A power train supporting structure for a vehicle is provided with: a power train including a transversely disposed engine, a transmission, and a transfer; and a rear mount bracket which connects a rear portion of the power train and a suspension cross member. A front portion of the rear mount bracket is connected to the transfer at a position which is below a drive shaft, and is in a vehicle up-down directional area that is an overlapping of the transmission and the transfer in view of the vehicle width direction.

A vehicle body front structure includes left and right front side frames including at least left and right front bending portions, left and right middle bending portions, and left and right rear bending portions. The left and right front bending portions are bent to project inwards in a vehicle's width direction by a collision load exerted on a front end of a vehicle body, whereby the left and right front bending portions restrain a power unit. The left and right middle bending portions are situated spaced apart to the rear from the left and right front bending portions. The left and right rear bending portions are situated spaced apart to the rear from the left and right middle bending portions, are bent outwards in the vehicle's width direction, and absorb collision energy when struck by the power unit moved rearward together with the left and right front bending portions.

A vehicle includes a frame supported by a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels; a seat supported by the frame; an engine disposed behind the seat; a mounting support provided between the engine and the frame, at a lower position that is lower than a center of the engine in an up-down direction; and a vibration reducing member provided between the engine and the frame, at a higher position that is higher than the center of the engine in the up-down direction. The vibration reducing member includes a torque rod extending in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a crank shaft when the vehicle is viewed in a plan view; and a rubber damper provided at each end of the torque rod.

A motor vehicle (10) has a drive train in the region of a front axle. A body of the motor vehicle has connection points (1, 2, 3) for a laterally arranged internal combustion engine, a vehicle transmission (15) and a torque plate of a motor vehicle (10) that can be driven exclusively by the internal combustion engine. The connection points (1, 2, 3) also are connection points for a hybrid drive train (11). The vehicle uses a modular design principle and can be equipped with differently designed drive systems, including conventional drive exclusively by an internal combustion engine and hybrid drive, without having to make structural modifications. The hybrid drive train may be a serial hybrid or a parallel hybrid.

A vehicle includes a side support extending in a vehicle longitudinal direction, a drive unit spaced apart from the side support in a vehicle lateral direction, where the drive unit includes a crankshaft extending in the vehicle lateral direction, and a spacer member positioned between the side support and the drive unit in the vehicle lateral direction, where the spacer member coupled to one of the drive unit and the side support, and the spacer member is detached and spaced apart from the other of the drive unit and the side support, and where the spacer member is positioned rearward of the crankshaft in the vehicle longitudinal direction.

An engine mount structure capable of efficiently absorbing vibration input from an engine is provided. The engine mount structure includes a front mount device 20 which is connected to an engine 1 and a subframe 10 to suppress vibration transmission from the engine 1 side to the subframe 10 side. A dynamic damper 26 connected to the subframe 10 to suppress vibration of the subframe 10 is disposed in a hole portion 11b, and an opening of the hole portion 11b is formed in an upper surface portion 11a of a front subframe member component 11 located on a lower side of the front mount device 20.

A unit mounting in a vehicle, in which a drive unit is attached via a unit bearing to a body-side bearing bracket, which unit bearing is a rubber-metal bearing having a sleeve-shaped bearing core, which is screwed together with the body-side bearing bracket by a bearing bolt guided through the sleeve-shaped bearing core. The drive unit has a unit housing, in which a bearing receptacle is formed for the unit bearing. The housing-side bearing receptacle is formed as a bearing cup open on one side having a hollow cylindrical receptacle space, specifically in particular having a closed bearing base, from which a cylindrical circumferential peripheral wall is raised.
