Raising or lowering the powertrain keeps drive shaft joints near optimum angles, reducing fatigue, vibration, and noise on uneven terrain.
Raised intake inlets near the steering assembly keep dust and water out while supporting engine airflow and transmission cooling.
A variable-length middle pipe enables effective swaging, lowers residual stress, and improves mount bush durability.
Using side exhaust ducts as crash absorbers limits front wheel movement in frontal impacts while avoiding added struts, weight, and drag.
Side exhaust ducts absorb front-crash energy and replace buffer struts, cutting vehicle weight while preserving aerodynamics.
Separated engine and vehicle-body brackets spread acceleration and deceleration loads to reduce stress concentration on the engine.
