A transverse engine adjacent to a drive shaft includes an engine body having a crankshaft, a first pipe connected to the engine body and running such that an engine coolant flows therethrough, and an accessory drive system. The accessory drive system includes an endless outer belt wound between a crankshaft pulley and an alternator drive pulley. A portion of the first pipe forms a water protector located between the drive shaft and the outer belt and overlapping with the outer belt as viewed from the front or rear of the vehicle.
