  • Patent number: 10179609
    Abstract: An arrangement of a rear axle module on a two-axle, two-track vehicle which is at least partially electrically driveable by an electric motor is provided in which a rear axle bracket designed for the fastening of wheel-guiding links of a rear axle and a housing for accommodating components for providing electrical energy together form the module, with the housing arranged in a front region of the rear axle module. The rear axle module includes bearing brackets by which the module is connected from below to the vehicle body, including two rear axle bracket bearings which are to the rear of the rear axle module with respect to the direction of travel, two central rear axle bracket bearings arranged in a central region of the rear axle module, and two front bearings arranged on the housing in the front region of the rear axle module.

  • Patent number: 8651222
    Abstract: A support of an axle transmission in the rear region of a passenger vehicle on a rear axle carrier and on the floor panel structure of the vehicle body in a further connecting point with the interposition of elastic supports is provided. On the output side, the transmission is supported on the sole transverse member of the rear axle carrier, which includes two longitudinal members, and on the input side the transmission is fixed to the floor panel structure via a serial connection of two elastic supports with a mass body arranged therebetween. The transmission may be fixed to two connecting points on the floor panel structure, the connecting points lying next to each other substantially in the transverse direction. Two such serial connections of elastic supports may be provided with a common mass body with a weight ranging from 3 to 7 kilograms.
