Abstract
A vehicle, in particular, a military vehicle, includes a self-supporting vehicle body (2) and a drive assembly (3) for driving the vehicle. The drive assembly (3) is connected to the vehicle body (2) via an assembly support (6, 7), the assembly support (6, 7) forming a part of the support structure of the vehicle body (2). In a method for mounting a drive assembly (3) in a vehicle (2) that has a self-supporting vehicle body (2), the drive assembly (3) is connected to the vehicle body (2) via an assembly support (6, 7) and the assembly support (6, 7) forms a part of the support structure of the vehicle body (2) in the mounted state.
Claims14
A vehicle comprising:
- a self-supporting vehicle body (2);
- a drive assembly (3) for driving the vehicle;
- a first assembly support (6) and a second assembly support (7) that connect the drive assembly (3) to the vehicle body and form a part of a support structure of the vehicle body (2);
- the drive assembly (3) including a first drive module (4) formed as an engine/gearbox unit and a second drive module (5) formed as a drive train, which are connected via the first and the second assembly supports (6,7), respectively, to the self-supporting vehicle body (2);
- and
- the first assembly support (6) having a first receiving region (8) for receiving the first drive module, and the second assembly support (7) having a second receiving region (9) for receiving the second drive module (5), the first assembly support and the second assembly support providing reinforcement regions (10, 11) integrated in the support structure of the vehicle body (2).
A method for mounting a drive assembly (3) in a vehicle having a self-supporting vehicle body (2), the method comprising:
- connecting a drive assembly (3) for driving the vehicle to the self-supporting vehicle body (2) via a first assembly support (6) and a second assembly support (7), wherein the first and the second assembly supports (6, 7) form in a mounted state a part of a support structure of the vehicle body (2);
- and
- connecting a first drive module and a second drive module to the self-supporting vehicle body via the first and the second assembly supports, respectively, wherein the first drive module (4) is formed as an engine/gearbox unit, and the second drive module (5) is formed as a drive train;
- wherein the first and the second assembly supports (6, 7) each have a receiving region (8, 9) for receiving the first and the second drive modules (4, 5), respectively, and a reinforcement region (10, 11), which is integrated into the support structure of the vehicle body (2).
A vehicle comprising:
- a self-supporting vehicle body (2);
- a drive assembly (3) for driving the vehicle;
- a first assembly support (6) and a second assembly support (7) that connect the drive assembly (3) to the vehicle body and form a part of a support structure of the vehicle body (2);
- the drive assembly (3) including a first drive module (4) formed as an engine/gearbox unit and a second drive module (5) formed as a drive train, which are connected via the first and the second assembly supports (6,7), respectively, to the self-supporting vehicle body (2);
- the first assembly support (6) having a first receiving region (8) for receiving the first drive module, and the second assembly support (7) having a second receiving region (9) for receiving the second drive module (5), the first assembly support and the second assembly support providing first and second reinforcement regions (10, 11), respectively, integrated in the support structure of the vehicle body (2);
- and
- the second receiving region (9) having an upwardly open recess (15) shaped to receive the second drive module, and the second receiving region is inserted into and connected to a correspondingly formed opening (2.1) in the vehicle body, thereby forming a joint (13).
