In a power train supporting apparatus and method for an automotive
vehicle, at least three mount portions support a power train constituted
by an engine and a transmission on a frame of a vehicle body in such a
manner that the output axle of the engine intersects a center line of a
vehicular longitudinal direction as viewed from a top of the vehicle. The
three mount portions comprise engine front and rear side mounts arranged
on a vehicular front side and a vehicular rear side with respect to the
engine and a transmission side mount arranged in the vicinity of the
transmission. The mounts are arranged in such a manner that a distance
from a weight center of the power train to each of the engine front and
rear side mounts is shorter than a distance from the weight center of the
power train to the transmission side mount.
