Abstract
An internal combustion engine arranged in an automotive vehicle with optionally driven units or the like, for example, units driven by way of pulleys. The units extend toward a front if the internal combustion engine is arranged in a front compartment of the automotive vehicle and extend toward the rear beyond the internal combustion engine if the engine is disposed in a rear compartment. The units and optionally their drive elements are fashioned in such a way and/or are mounted to the internal combustion engine in such a manner that, in case of a collision, impact energy is absorbed at the units and/or their fasteners or mounting by the performance of deformation work, by overcoming frictional resistances, and/or by a displacement of viscous substances against a resistance.
