Abstract

An arrangement for mounting driven or non-driven assemblies on or to an internal combustion engine mounted in a motor vehicle. The assemblies projecting forward beyond an end of the internal combustion engine when the engine is mounted in a front of the motor vehicle and projecting rearwardly beyond the engine when the engine is mounted in the rear of the motor vehicle. The assemblies are so mounted and/or fastened on or to the internal combustion engine that, in the event of a collision and/or an impact on the assemblies, such assemblies are displaceable in a direction of the internal combustion engine with a zero resistance and without expending any energy absorption.
