Supporting apparatus for a vehicular power unit

The invention relates to a supporting apparatus for a vehicular power unit (P) including a power source (E) and a speed reducer (T) which are connected in series. The power unit (2) is provided transversly. The supporting apparatus comprises a power source side mount (16) and a speed reducer side mount (17) for sharing a static load of the power unit (2); and a torque rod (58;67) connecting portion of the power unit (2) remote from a principal axis of inertia (C) to the vehicle body frame (F). The power source side mount (16) is disposed substantially on the principal axis of inertia (C) at one end portion of the power unit (2), and the speed reducer side mount (17) is disposed upward than the principal axis of inertia (C) at another end portion of the power unit (2). The speed reducer side mount (17) includes a speed reducer side member (42) and a vehicle body frame side member (23), a front elastic stopper (52) abutting on the vehicle body frame side member (23) when the speed reducer side member (42) is displaced frontward by a first distance (L1) relative to the vehicle body frame (F) and a rear elastic stopper (53) abutting on the vehicle body frame side member (23) when the speed reducer side member (42) is displaced rearward by a second distance (L2) relative to the vehicle body frame (F), wherein the second distance (L2) is longer than the first distance (L1).
