A road vehicle having a powertrain is provided with a powertrain catcher apparatus comprised of a powertrain catcher and a transverse structural member having a weakened region against which the powertrain catcher reacts when the powertrain is moved rearwardly due to a collision. The powertrain catcher has a punch portion which punches through the weakened region to form an aperture with which the punch portion remains tightly engaged to restrain vertical and transverse movement of the powertrain.
