Abstract: A support assembly is for an electric motor in an operative position within a vehicle. The electric motor has a rotatable central shaft. A primary bracket has a vertically oriented first section coupled to the electric motor, a vertically oriented second section rearwardly of and at an elevation above the first section, and a third section joining the first and second sections. The second section of the primary bracket is adapted to support vehicle components including an alternator, an air conditioning compressor, and a power steering pump. The second section of the primary bracket is adapted to support a motion imparting assembly for driving the vehicle components. The motion imparting assembly includes a drive pulley secured to and rotatable with the central shaft of the electric motor and includes driven pulleys on each of the vehicle components.
