Integrated mounting systems for mounting electric drive components within electrified vehicles

An integrated mounting system for an electrified vehicle, comprising:

• a cross brace assembly including a cross brace, a first bridging side bracket mounted to the cross brace, and a second bridging side bracket mounted to the cross brace;
• a first electric drive component suspended from the cross brace by at least one isolator mount;
• and
• a second electric drive component mounted at a plurality of mount tabs of the cross brace,
• wherein the first bridging side bracket is mounted to each of the cross brace and an upper surface of a first vehicle frame rail, the second bridging side bracket is mounted to each of the cross brace and an upper surface of a second vehicle frame rail, and the cross brace is mounted to a lower surface of both the first vehicle frame rail and the second vehicle frame rail.

An electrified vehicle, comprising:

• a vehicle frame rail;
• a cross brace assembly mounted to the vehicle frame rail;
• and
• an electric drive component secured relative to the vehicle frame rail by the cross brace assembly,
• wherein a cross brace of the cross brace assembly is mounted to a lower surface of the vehicle frame rail and a bridging side bracket of the cross brace assembly is mounted to an upper surface of the vehicle frame rail,
• wherein the bridging side bracket is mounted directly to an end portion of the cross brace,
• wherein the cross brace extends in a cross-width direction of the electrified vehicle between the vehicle frame rail and a second vehicle frame rail, and further wherein a mount leg of the cross brace is bolted directly to the lower surface of the vehicle frame rail and the bridging side bracket is bolted directly to the upper surface of the vehicle frame rail.
