Abstract: A crash support assembly is provided in the tunnel region of a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle has at least one exhaust tract guided through a tunnel of the vehicle and seat cross members are disposed to the side of the tunnel. A crash support is held on the exhaust tract and is disposed such that it swings freely between the seat cross members. A crash support of this type permits the vehicle to be optimized with regard to the conditions of a pole crash with a low outlay on production and assembly.

Abstract: A device for defoaming and/or deaeration of oil in the lubricant system of an internal combustion engine in which the lubricant oil flowing back into an oil pan is conveyable by an oil suction pump into a separate oil tank. The device has an oil separator, preferably mounted on the oil tank. The oil separator has a deaeration space (10) which accommodates a wire mesh body (20).

Abstract: This drive assembly is suitable for a motor vehicle, particularly a passenger car of the sportscar type, and comprises an internal-combustion engine, a clutch and a transmission which form a constructional unit. The drive assembly is fastened by means of several bearings on a carrying structure of a vehicle body of the passenger car. For an advantageous installation of the drive assembly, a first bearing interacting with a first bearing receiving device of the carrying structure is provided approximately in a longitudinal center plane of the passenger car on a free side of the internal-combustion engine, in which case, a second bearing and a third bearing are mounted outside the longitudinal center plane in the area of a free end of the transmission, which hold second and third bearing receiving devices of the carrying structure in position.
