ABSTRACT:
A vehicle engine suspension system in which, in order to reduce `shake` electrically actuated engine mounts are provided, power being supplied to the engine mounts by a control system responsive to vehicle body accelerations (e.g. in the vertical direction). The arrangement is such that when a tendency of the body to move is detected, e.g. by an accelerometer mounted on the body, the engine mounts are actuated so as to generate, between the engine and the body, forces which are of such amplitude and phase as to reduce the shake of the body.
