Abstract 1,162,081. Transverse engine/transmission units. AUTOMOBILES PEUGEOT and REGIE NATIONALE DES USINES RENAULT. 2 Jan., 1968 [3 March, 1967], No. 229/68. Heading B7H. [Also in Division F1] In a power unit for a motor vehicle comprising an I.C. engine M, a gear-box B and a differential C, the axes of the engine crank-shaft 1 and the gear-box primary and secondary shafts 5, 6 are parallel and lie in a common plane substantially perpendicular to the axes V of the engine cylinders. The differential C is located between the arms of the L-shaped engine and gear-box assembly. The engine and gear-box casing 2, 3 is split in the common plane of the shafts 1, 5, 6 and the unit is adapted to be arranged transversely in a motor vehicle with the cylinder axes V substantially horizontal. Crank-shaft 1 drives the gear-box primary shaft 5 through a clutch (7), Fig. 2 (not shown), and a gear (8) journalled on the crank-shaft. The secondary shaft (6) carries a gear (15) meshing with a ring gear (16) of the differential which has transmission shafts leading to the front or rear wheels of the vehicle.
