POWER UNIT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B62D25/20 

FIELD: machine engineering.

SUBSTANCE: power unit (10) contains an engine (20) and a power transmission device that transmits traction from the engine to the drive wheel. The power transmission apparatus comprises a gearbox (36) disposed in the power transmission path between the engine and the drive wheel (39T). Below the transmission box (36) there is a crankcase (35D). Under the oil pan, the security element (40) is mounted covering at least a portion of the oil pan bottom. The protective element (40) is attached at one end to a part of the power unit that is located in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle in front of the transmission box (36), and the other end is attached to a part of the power unit that is located in the vehicle longitudinal direction behind the transmission box (36).
