Hutchinson Engine Mount
Hutchinson Engine Mounts: Decades of Elastomer Engineering
When it comes to keeping an engine firmly — and quietly — in place, few names carry the credibility of Hutchinson. Founded in France and now a preferred partner of the world's major automotive manufacturers, Hutchinson has built its reputation on one core discipline: mastering the science of rubber and elastomer technology to solve some of the toughest noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) challenges in the industry.
Engine mounts are the critical interface between a vehicle's powertrain and its chassis. A worn or failed mount allows engine movement to transfer directly into the cabin — producing the telltale shudder during acceleration, rough idle vibration, or clunking under load that drivers quickly learn to dread. Hutchinson's approach to this deceptively simple component is anything but ordinary.
What Sets Hutchinson Engine Mounts Apart
Hutchinson is a trusted brand known for its high-quality automotive components, particularly in the field of rubber and elastomer technology, with a focus on innovation, durability, and reliability. Their engine mounts are engineered to meet or exceed OEM standards , making them a go-to choice for enthusiasts and repair professionals who demand factory-level fit and function.
Hutchinson is a preferred partner of the world's major automotive manufacturers, dealing with many major issues involving vehicle safety, reliability, and comfort — and the Hutchinson name has become synonymous with quality, recognized by all major players in the field.
At the heart of each mount is a precisely formulated elastomeric core. Vibration damping mounts are commonly made with an elastomer such as natural rubber, neoprene, silicone, or EPDM, which is then bonded to metal — a construction methodology Hutchinson has refined over decades. This bonded-rubber-to-metal design gives each mount its ability to absorb multi-directional engine loads while simultaneously blocking the transmission of noise and vibration into the body structure.
Hutchinson's innovation extends beyond passive mounts. The company developed a technology called Smart Mount — a completely autonomous device designed to generate counter-vibrations as a vehicle is driven — representing a self-powering, active engine mount for automotive vehicles. On their active mount platform, the filtration solution incorporates active control strategies engineered to deliver precise local real-time dynamic responses across a wide range of operating conditions, enabling adaptive responses to powertrain vibrations.
Vehicle Coverage: European Performance Specialists
Hutchinson's automotive engine mount catalog has a particularly strong focus on European makes. Their complete assembly mounts cover Volvo applications including the C70, S60, S70, V70, and XC70. BMW fitments are equally well represented, with mounts covering the BMW 5 Series (E60/E61) and 6 Series LCI (E63/E64) as well as later V8 and V10 platforms. Hutchinson engine mounts are original products manufactured in France , and installation requires no modification — they are direct replacements for worn OEM units.
Whether you're restoring ride quality to a high-mileage European sedan or proactively replacing aging mounts before they cause secondary damage, Hutchinson's engine mount lineup delivers the engineering depth and material quality that the job demands.
