  • Arrangement for a drive mounting
    Patent number: 10953738
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for the drive mounting, in particular for a motor vehicle, preferentially a utility vehicle. The arrangement comprises a supporting structure, in particular a cross member structure. The arrangement comprises an, in particular electric, drive unit, which is attached to the supporting structure in a 3-point mounting on an underside and/or from below. Advantageously, the drive unit can thus be fed to the motor vehicle from the rear end. The drive unit can be practically lifted in order to be then attached to the supporting structure on an underside or from below. The 3-point mounting makes possible a quick assembly. In addition, a static redundancy of the mounting through too many bearing points (e.g. four or more) is prevented.
