Hutchinson Motor Mounts

Hutchinson Motor Mounts: OEM Expertise in Every Mount

When it comes to keeping your engine properly secured and your cabin free of unwanted vibration, few names carry the credentials that Hutchinson does. As a major OEM supplier headquartered in France, Hutchinson has spent decades engineering the rubber and elastomer components that go into vehicles straight from the factory floor — including the motor mounts that hold your powertrain in place. Choosing a Hutchinson mount means choosing the same engineering behind the original part, without the dealership markup.

What Sets Hutchinson Motor Mounts Apart

Hutchinson's deep expertise in vibration control is the foundation of every motor mount they produce. Their conventional mounts are built around a Main Rubber Element (MRE) made primarily of natural rubber, bonded to metallic or composite components to ensure compliance between engine and chassis. These mounts are engineered to attenuate powertrain- and road-induced vibrations, delivering optimal NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance and long-term reliability. Beyond the standard rubber mount, Hutchinson has also pioneered fluid-filled elastomeric designs — where a glycol-type liquid is encapsulated within the MRE structure to cancel dynamic stiffness under excitation, meaning vibration and load are absorbed rather than transmitted to the vehicle body.

For the cutting edge, Hutchinson's Active Mount technology incorporates smart adaptive control strategies that deliver real-time dynamic responses across a wide range of operating conditions — a level of sophistication that underscores why automakers trust Hutchinson as a Tier-1 supplier. The brand has even developed BEV-specific motor mounts, with designs installed in vehicles like the Nissan Ariya and Renault Clio EV, tunable for high-frequency vibration by adjusting the rubber mass within the bushing.

Vehicle Coverage: European Makes and Beyond

Hutchinson motor mounts are particularly well-regarded among owners of European vehicles. Their fitment catalog spans a wide range of applications, with strong coverage for Volvo platforms — including the S60, V70, XC70, XC90, and C70 — as well as BMW 5 Series and 6 Series models, and Saab 9-5 applications. Because Hutchinson parts are produced to OEM specification in Europe, they install without modification and replace worn factory components on a like-for-like basis.

Why Enthusiasts and Technicians Choose Hutchinson

The Volvo and European car communities have long recognized Hutchinson as an OE-equivalent supplier — meaning these are often the exact same components used during original vehicle assembly, just without the automaker's badge. This pedigree translates to confidence: you get factory-spec rubber formulations, proper geometry, and the durability expected from a brand that supplies global automakers. Whether you're a DIY home mechanic doing a full mount refresh or a professional technician sourcing quality replacement parts, Hutchinson motor mounts deliver a straightforward, no-compromise solution.
