Embodiment Construction

[0029] figure 1 A motor vehicle 10 according to an embodiment of the invention is shown.

[0030] An orthogonal reference frame is defined that includes a forward longitudinal direction X, a horizontal transverse direction Y, and an upward vertical direction Z.

[0031] The motor vehicle 10 extends in a longitudinal direction X from rear to front. The motor vehicle comprises a passenger compartment 11 and an engine compartment 12 at the front of the motor vehicle 10 . Underhood 12 houses a powertrain (not shown) configured to generate torque that is then transmitted to wheels 121 of motor vehicle 10 .

[0032] Figure 2 to Figure 4 Engine compartment 12 of motor vehicle 10 is shown in greater detail.

[0033] The engine compartment 12 is separated from the passenger compartment 11 by a partition 13 , also called a firewall, generally extending in transverse direction.

[0034] The nacelle 12 is further delimited by a lower windscreen frame 14 by means of which the firewal...

Abstract

The invention relates to an assembly for an automotive vehicle (10) engine compartment (12) comprising an electronic control unit (19), a windscreen lower frame (14) comprising a windscreen lower frame sheet that is inclined from front to back with respect to a plane that is parallel to longitudinal and transverse directions, a front end of the windscreen lower frame sheet corresponding to an upper end of said windscreen lower frame sheet, an A-pillar inner panel (15) and a shock-absorber cup (17), the windscreen lower frame (14), the shock-absorber cup (17) and the A-pillar inner panel panel(15) together defining a free space (18) in which the electronic control unit (19) is housed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an assembly comprising an electronic control unit for a motor vehicle engine compartment, and an associated motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] As is well known, motor vehicles are equipped with one or more electronic control units ("ECUs"). [0003] The electronic control unit(s) can have many different functions. For example, these electronic control units may control the power train of the motor vehicle, the system for transmitting the torque generated by the power train to the wheels of the motor vehicle, or the anti-lock braking system of the motor vehicle. [0004] Usually, the electronic control unit or units are installed in an engine compartment arranged at the front of the motor vehicle and housing the power train. [0005] However, finding free space in the engine compartment for mounting the electronic control unit or units proves to be tricky in view of the compactness and space requirements of the engin...
