Journa Name: ARAI Journal of Mobility Technology Country : India Volume: 4 issue: 2 Year: 2024 Views : 79Powertrain mounting systems play a crucial role in the overall functioning of three-wheeled passenger vehicles equipped with a single-cylinder diesel engine. Primarily, engine mounting systems are tasked with isolating the vehicle and its occupants from the vibrations produced by the engine. A properly designed engine vibration isolation system should ensure the stable positioning of the powertrain within the vehicle, even when subjected to dynamic forces and torque loads. Furthermore, it should accommodate the general motion of the powertrain and prevent any contact between the engine, transmission, and associated components of the vehicle.
