A vehicle engine suspension system in which, in order to reduce ‘shake’electrically actuated engine mounts are provided, power being supplied to the engine mounts by a control system responsive to vehicle body accelerations (e.g. in the vertical direction). The arrangement is such that when a tendency of the body to move is detected, e.g. by an accelerometer mounted on the body, the engine mounts are actuated so as to generate, between the engine and the body, forces which are of such amplitude and phase as to reduce the shake of the body.

A vehicle engine suspension system comprising engine suspension means arranged to be mounted on operative relation to a body and an engine of a vehicle and power actuation means for said engine suspension means arranged to be actuated by energy from a source external to the said engine suspension and power actuation means, detector means for sensing movements of the body or forces applied thereto, and control means for the power actuation means, said cotrol means being responsive to the detector means to govern the supply of energy from said source to the power actuation means whereby movement of the body or a tendency of the body to move causes operation of the power actuation means so as to tend to move the engine and thereby create a reaction force via the engine suspension means on the body tending to reduce the said movement or tendency to move on the body.
