Zusammenfassung:	An assembly for a motor vehicle is comprises an engine 110 and first and second engine catch hooks 118, 120 coupled to engine 110. First catch hook (118, Figure 4b) comprises a hook portion (118b, Figure 4b) configured to engage a subframe 116 of the vehicle during a collision and transfer load from the engine assembly to the subframe. Second catch hook 120 comprises a hook portion 120b vertically spaced apart from the hook portion of first catch hook 118 and is configured to engage a catch structure 122, located at an upper end of a bulkhead between an engine bay and a vehicle interior, during the collision so as to transfer load from engine 110 into catch structure 122. Catch structure 122 is preferably spaced from the bulkhead and may comprise a cable coupled to a support structure 134 at each end of the cable which may snap during a collision.
