Abstract
A vehicle drive unit placed in front of the back of the vehicle for a single axle and four wheel drive is provided in which the unit includes a combustion engine and a transmission with wheel axle drive differentials a and central differential or transfer case. A drive shaft is carried in a support and the support is rigidly connected to the second differential. The combustion engine is supported at the vehicle body and at the transmission by numerous elastic bearings which vibrationally isolate the same from one another. The engine is rigidly connected to the support for the drive shaft. A transmission shaft with low torsional rigidity is provided between the combustion engine and the transmission with this transmission shaft connected to the engine and transmission inertia masses to provide a damping effect on torque vibrations.
