A support rigidity of a torque rod with respect to a vehicle body is adequately increased. In addition to an upper bracket (52) and a lower bracket (54) for retaining the torque rod (66), the torque rod mounting structure includes a stay bracket (56) attached to the lower bracket (54) and the damper housing (24). The damper housing (24), the lower bracket (54) and the stay bracket (56) jointly form a closed cross section structure (58), and a retaining portion of the lower bracket (54) retaining the rear end (66A) of the torque rod (66) includes a part of the lower bracket (54) forming the closed cross section structure (58).

An engine mounting structure includes an engine mount fixed to a frame of a vehicle body and an engine bracket fixed to an engine. The engine mount includes a mount fixture on which the engine bracket is assembled. When mounting the engine, the mount fixture and the engine bracket engage with each other at a first engagement portion close to the engine and a second engagement portion close to the frame. In the first mounting portion, the mount fixture urges the engine bracket toward the engine for engagement, and in the second engagement portion, the mount fixture urges the engine bracket toward the frame for engagement.

An engine assembly arrangement for a motor vehicle, with a drive assembly, which is mounted directly at a support element via at least one first fixed bearing. A support structure engages at the drive assembly, on the one hand, via a second fixed bearing and via a third fixed bearing that is spaced apart from the second fixed bearing, and, on the other hand, is articulated at the support element via a fourth fixed bearing.

An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting member structure capable of preventing unstable vibration of an engine mount. A mounting member structure, which is mounted on a power plant including an engine and has a mounting member disposed between the power plant and an antivibration device, wherein the mounting member has an opening abutting the power plant and an inner space continuous from the opening, a weight mass is disposed in the inner space, and the weight mass is fixed to a recess in the inner space through a first bolt. The mounting member is fastened to the antivibration device by a second bolt.

An end plate for a vehicle includes an upper end plate, a lower end plate, and a cover that covers a gap between a lower end edge of the upper end plate and an upper end edge of the lower end plate. The vehicle includes an engine and a housing. The engine is fastened to the housing through the end plate. A first stepped portion having a pair of a first flat surface and a second flat surface intersecting with the first flat surface is provided on the engine side of the cover. The first flat surface is inclined downward with respect to a horizontal plane as the first flat surface is directed toward the engine side.

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 mounting structure for mounting a dynamic damper on a vehicle body frame of a vehicle includes a dynamic damper mounted on a vehicle body frame of a vehicle includes a dynamic damper bracket connecting the dynamic damper to the vehicle frame; a collar member rigidly fixed to the vehicle body frame; a mounting bracket which is mounted above the vehicle body frame, and which is elastically connected to the collar member; and a fixing member which fixes the dynamic damper bracket and the collar member to the vehicle body frame.

A pendulum type mount system includes a pair of upper mounts that mount upper portions of a powerplant unit on a vehicle body, and a pair of first and second lower torque rods. The first and second lower torque rods are located on opposite sides to each other with respect to a reference plane including a gravity center of the powerplant unit. A first spring constant of the first lower torque rod is not smaller than a second spring constant of the second lower torque rod. A distance between a first plane including the first lower torque rod and the reference plane is not larger than a distance between a second plane including the second lower torque rod and the reference plane.

A saddle-riding vehicle includes a power unit including: an engine which is located between front and rear wheels and produces drive power; and an electric motor which is secured to the engine and produces drive power. The power unit is supported by a vehicle body frame, at opposite sides of the electric motor in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

The present disclosure discloses a trunnion mount for mounting an engine, in particular a combustion engine, to a chassis, comprising a support element rigidly connected and/or connectable to the engine having a ring portion with an outer bearing surface, which may be arranged concentrically around the crankshaft; a female support having an inner bearing surface for surrounding the bearing surface of the support element, the female support forming the link between the chassis and the engine; and a rubber bearing arranged between the inner bearing surface of the female support and the outer bearing surface of the support element. In one or more examples, the trunnion mount includes a rubber bearing that is directly vulcanized on at least one of the bearing surfaces and/or wherein the ring portion is formed as a separate element from a mounting portion of the support element and connectable thereto via axial screws.
