Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention comprises side members ( 15 ), which are vehicular skeleton members of a hybrid vehicle ( 10 ); a front cross member ( 18 ) for connecting the two side members ( 15 ); spring supports ( 16 ) connected to the side members ( 15 ); an auxiliary battery arranged further towards the vehicle front relative to a PCU ( 13 ) and attached to the front cross member ( 18 ) via a support platform ( 23 ) and a securing piece ( 22 ); a radiator ( 17 ) attached to the front cross member ( 18 ); a motor case ( 12 ) and an engine ( 11 ) connected to the vehicular skeleton member via an engine mount; an axle ( 25 ) extending from the motor case ( 12 ); and a PCU ( 13 ) connected to the motor case ( 12 ) via a guide plate ( 19 ) and a linkage bolt. Thus, there is provided a vehicular instrument-mounting structure capable of inhibiting collision of a power control device or other vehicle-mounted instrument with another member, and inhibiting damage caused to the power control device or other vehicle-mounted instrument during a vehicle collision.
