A mount 23 for a spare wheel 11 on a vehicle structure 24 comprises a mounting structure 25 carrying spare wheel 11, and a driving unit 26 comprising a motor 2, preferably an electric motor, for moving mounting structure 25 in a vertical direction z using the motor and also for translationally moving mounting structure 25 in a direction y at an angle to vertical direction z. Preferably, direction y is in the longitudinal or transverse directions of a vehicle, and motor 2 provides movement in direction y. Motor 2 may move with mounting structure 2 in direction y. The mount is particularly suitable for use for mounting a heavy spare wheel, for example weighing 65 kg to 70 kg, under the load compartment of a commercial vehicle such as a bus or a truck.
