Abstract
An engine-transmission assembly is supported in an engine room of a vehicle by two elastic support devices supporting it substantially at opposite ends of its rolling axis of inertia and two other elastic support devices supporting it substantially at opposite ends of its pitching axis of inertia. The major part of the weight of the engine-transmission assembly may be borne by the two elastic support devices on the rolling axis of inertia, which may be simple rubber block type support devices; and the two elastic support devices on the pitching axis of inertia may be of a type able to present variable spring constant and/or damping coefficient, optionally according to the driving conditions of the vehicle.
