ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for supporting a power train in a vehicle body having a monocoque structure that includes a bumper reinforcer, which is arranged in front of a passenger compartment, side members, and a toe board. The supporting apparatus is provided with first and second push rods, and a torque rod for supporting the power train. The first and second push rods are connected to the bumper reinforcer and support the front side of the power train. During a head-on collision, the first and second push rods cause the power train to be displaced toward the passenger compartment in a downwardly inclined direction. In the same manner, the torque rod is connected to the toe board and supports the rear side of the power train. During the head-on collision, the torque rod also causes the power train to be displaced toward the passenger compartment in a downwardly inclined direction.
