The invention relates to a motor-driven covering device () for covering and exposing a charging connection () arranged on the body () of an electric vehicle () with respect to a vehicle exterior (), comprising a cover flap () for covering the charging connection () in a closed state (I), a motor () operatively connected to the cover flap () for driving an opening movement and a closing movement of the cover flap (), a power transmission means/device () for transmitting a motor power of the motor () for carrying out the opening movement and the closing movement of the cover flap (), guide means/element () for guiding the cover flap () along a movement path during the opening movement and the closing movement of the cover flap (), the motor-driven covering device () being configured in such a manner that the cover flap () can be moved along the body () of the electric vehicle () in a motor-driven manner during the opening and closing movement, wherein the body () at least partially covers the cover flap () with respect to the vehicle exterior () in an opened state (II) of the covering device ().

Motor-operated cover device

An assembly support with hybrid structure for front ends of passenger vehicles and light trucks includes an upper cross member (), a lateral member () attached to it from below with a flange plate () for connection with the face ends of vehicle longitudinal members and a lower cross member () connecting the lower sections () of these lateral members (). In order to reinforce the assembly support in the area of the lower cross member (), the lower cross member () consists of a shell body () with a flange () running along its edge and projecting outward, and of a sealing part () whose edge area overlaps it. The shell body () and the sealing part () are made of a stiff material, whereby the flange () and edge areas () of the above-mentioned components are surrounded by injected plastic used for the hybrid structure, and are thus bound together with the lateral members ().
