Abstract
A motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine which is installed into a motor chamber in the longitudinal direction and which has a multi-joint crank drive with an eccentric shaft and a crankshaft starter is disclosed. The crankshaft starter is arranged relative to the internal combustion engine such that a longitudinal central cylinder plane, which is spanned by longitudinal central cylinder axes of the internal combustion engine, lies between the crankshaft starter and the eccentric shaft.
Claims7
-10. (canceled)
A motor vehicle, comprising:
- an internal combustion engine mounted in longitudinal direction in a motor space of the motor vehicle, said internal combustion engine comprising a multi-joint crank drive with an eccentric shaft;
- a crankshaft starter arranged relative to the internal combustion engine so that a cylinder longitudinal center plane spanned by cylinder longitudinal center axes of the internal combustion engine is situated between the crankshaft starter and the eccentric shaft;
- a belt starter arranged on a same side of the cylinder longitudinal center plane as the eccentric shaft, wherein the crankshaft starter and the belt starter are arranged above a parallel plane which extends parallel to a bottom delimiting plane of the internal combustion engine and includes a rotation axis of the eccentric shaft and the belt or which extends parallel to the bottom delimiting plane and tangentially contacts an effective enveloping surface of a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine;
- and
- an actuator for adjusting the eccentric shaft, said actuator being situated below the parallel plane and on the same side of the cylinder longitudinal center plane as the eccentric shaft.

A method for assembling a motor vehicle, said method comprising:
- mounting an internal combustion engine in the motor vehicle in longitudinal direction in a motor space of the motor vehicle, said internal combustion engine comprising a multi-joint crank drive with an eccentric shaft,
- wherein the internal combustion engine is mounted in the vehicle so that
- a crankshaft starter is arranged relative to the internal combustion engine so that a cylinder longitudinal center plane spanned by cylinder longitudinal center axes of the internal combustion engine is situated between the crankshaft starter and the eccentric shaft,
- a belt starter is arranged on a same side of the cylinder longitudinal center plane as the eccentric shaft, wherein the crankshaft starter and the belt starter are arranged above a parallel plane which extends parallel to a bottom delimiting plane of the internal combustion engine and includes a rotation axis of the eccentric shaft and the belt or which extends parallel to the bottom delimiting plane and tangentially contacts an effective enveloping surface of a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine;
- and
- an actuator for adjusting the eccentric shaft is situated below the parallel plane and on the same side of the cylinder longitudinal center plane as the eccentric shaft.
