DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The embodiments herein generally relate to mounting brackets in vehicles and more particularly, but not exclusively to a mounting bracket assembly for mounting a power electronics module in a vehicle.

BACKGROUND
[002] Generally, a power electronics module serves as energy manager or energy regulator (control and convert electrical energy) in vehicles such as electric vehicles (EV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and the like. Power electronics module is used to control the electric machine speed and torque by controlling the flow of electric power from or to high voltage (HV) battery. Power electronics module also has a DC-AC converter module which steps down the electric power from HV battery to 12V to provide the LV Board net. Further, power electronics modules are used in various applications such as wind turbines, solar power panels, industrial machines and also in various power plants such as tidal power plants, etc.,. Conventional mounting assembly for power electronics module facilitates mounting of the power electronics module directly to a powertrain or to a mounting structure secured to the powertrain of the vehicle. Some conventional mounting assembly for the power electronics module facilitates mounting of the power electronics module to a sheet metal assembly which is a complete welded structure of the BIW (body in white) front end of the vehicle.
