The increase in driving comfort is one of the main enhancements in the auto
mobile industry today, It affects not only the constructive design of an au
tomobile and its equipment but also the vibroacoustic adaptation of the ent
ire vehicle. The purpose of the car benchmarking presented here is to show
current trends in the development of engine and chassis mounting systems, T
he results sorted with respect to vehicle class (luxury, middle, compact an
d subcompact class) and form the basis for vibroacoustic design of the over
all vehicle.
