Abstract: A suspension structure for a power unit is configured to suspend a power unit including a motor, a transaxle, and a power control unit. In the suspension structure for a power unit, the transaxle is arranged in a substantially center portion in a vehicle width direction, the motor is arranged at a position on an upper side with respect to the transaxle, and on one side in the vehicle width direction, and the power control unit is arranged at a position on the upper side with respect to the transaxle, and on an opposite side of the motor. In the suspension structure for a power unit, the motor and the power control unit are suspended on a principal axis of inertia substantially parallel with an axis in the vehicle width direction.

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted motor drive apparatus which stops the rotation of a motor immediately after an object obstructs a movable part driven by the motor. The drive apparatus includes a motor drive device for selectively driving and stopping a motor, an electric current measuring device for measuring a value of electric current flowing through the motor, a change-in-current-value detecting device for detecting an incremental change in the motor current, and a motor control device for supplying a first control signal or a second control signal to the motor drive device. The motor drive device continuously drives the motor according to the polarity of the detected increment of the current value in response to the first control signal, and immediately stops driving the motor in response to the second control signal.
