Abstract: A motor vehicle body structure includes a frame rail and a bracket attached to the rail and adapted for attaching an engine mount. The bracket has a first portion secured to the frame rail beneath the engine mount and at least one cantilever portion projecting at one end beyond the first portion. The cantilever portion defines an anchoring point for attachment of the engine mount that is spaced from the frame rail so that the portion of the frame rail beneath the anchoring point may undergo controlled deformation in the event of a front end vehicle collision.

Abstract: A powertrain mount assembly configured to connect a powertrain to a side rail of a vehicle frame structure, wherein the powertrain mount assembly comprises: a mounting bracket comprising a first side wall and a second side wall spaced apart from the first side wall, the mounting bracket being configured to receive a resilient member and a bracket arm between the first and second side walls, the bracket arm being connectable to the powertrain; and a first support bracket connectable to a surface of the side rail, wherein the first side wall of the mounting bracket is fastenable to the first support bracket and wherein the first support bracket is configured to be connected to the side rail at a location between the first and second side walls of the mounting bracket.
