A modular motor vehicle architecture is provided for motor vehicles of different motor vehicle types, in each case having at least one drive machine and at least one energy storage unit paired with the at least one drive machine. The at least one energy storage unit is received in a modularly designed underfloor energy storage unit assembly that has a plurality of energy storage unit modules, at least one outer dimension of which is standardized. Each vehicle type is paired with one underfloor energy storage unit assembly from a plurality of standardized underfloor energy storage unit assemblies. And, each underfloor energy storage unit assembly has a plurality of unit module installation areas, a longitudinal dimension of which extending in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle is standardized and each of which is designed to receive at least one respective standardized energy storage unit module.

Modular motor vehicle architecture

A group of motor vehicles contains at least vehicles of two different vehicle types of the following vehicle types: a battery drive vehicle with only one electric motor drive, a hybrid drive vehicle with an electric motor drive and an internal combustion engine drive, a fuel cell drive vehicle with a fuel cell drive, and an internal combustion engine drive vehicle with only one internal combustion engine drive. All of the vehicle types of the group of motor vehicles have a base assembly with a left-side sill structure, a right-side sill structure, an upper base, a lower base, and a central tunnel structure.

Group of motor vehicles with a battery drive vehicle and/or a hybrid drive vehicle and/or a fuel cell drive vehicle and/or an internal combustion engine drive vehicle

A mounting device is provided for oscillatingly mounting a range extender, which consists of an internal combustion engine and a generator, on a body and/or a chassis of a motor vehicle by way of vibration-damping elements. At least two of the vibration-damping elements are integrated in load-carrying bearings and one additional one is integrated in a supporting bearing for supporting moments. The mounting device is characterized in that the vibration-damping elements of the mounting device at least for the load-carrying bearings are secured to the range extender, i.e. a first vibration-damping element is secured to the internal combustion engine and a second vibration-damping element is secured to the generator.

Torque roll axis mounting system for serial range extenders without a through-drive

The invention relates to a hybrid drive, comprising an internal combustion engine, an electric machine and a torque superposition device, by means of which a torque supplied by the internal combustion engine can be superposed on a torque supplied by the electric machine, wherein the torque superposition device has a first and a second torque input and a torque output. The electric machine is coupled to the first torque input via a first transmission device, and the internal combustion engine is coupled to the second torque input via a second transmission device.
