Abstract: A vehicle component mounting arrangement is provided with a motor, an inverter, a converter and a charging port. The inverter is electrically connected to the motor to supply a drive current to the motor. The inverter is vertically arranged above the motor such that a vertical space exists directly between the inverter and the motor. The converter is vertically arranged inside a motor room of the vehicle with the inverter extending horizontally outward with respect to the converter in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A space facing portion of the converter aligns with the vertical space as viewed in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The charging port is electrically connected to the converter by a charging harness that is at least partially disposed in the vertical space. The charging port is positioned in horizontally outward of the inverter in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle component mounting arrangement comprises a vehicle body member, a motor, an inverter and an air conditioning compressor. The motor serves as a drive source. The motor has a motor housing that is elastically supported with respect to the vehicle body member inside a motor room. The inverter is electrically connected to the motor to supply a drive current to the motor. The inverter is vertically arranged above the motor inside the motor room such that a vertical space exists directly between the inverter and the motor in a vertical direction of the vehicle. The air conditioning compressor serves to compress a refrigerant. The air conditioning compressor is attached to the motor housing, and is arranged inside the vertical space between the inverter and the motor.

Abstract: A control system for a starting clutch installed in an automotive vehicle. The starting clutch is arranged between the engine and at least one wheel of the vehicle, for controlling engagement between the engine and the at least one wheel. A basic torque capacity of the starting clutch is calculated based on the rotational speed of the engine, and a torque capacity correction value is determined such that it assumes a minimal value when a clutch speed ratio of the starting clutch detected by a clutch speed ratio sensor is equal to 1.0 and progressively increases as the clutch speed ratio increases and decreases from 1.0. The determined torque capacity correction value is changed based on the throttle valve opening, and the torque capacity of the starting clutch is determined based on the changed torque capacity correction value and the calculated basic torque capacity.
