The present invention relates to a replaceable battery module for an electrically driven vehicle, with at least one bracket that can be detachably arranged on a bearing structure of the motor vehicle, and carries at least one battery unit.

Replaceable battery module for an electric vehicle

An opening and/or closing device for a movable, flexurally rigid and at least regionally transparent wall element of a motor vehicle is provided. The device includes at least one supporting arm and at least one supporting body. The supporting arm and the supporting body encompass a first end that faces the wall element and is pivoted to the wall element, and encompass a second end that faces away from the wall element and is pivoted to a vehicle structure. By turning the supporting arm and the supporting body, the wall element is moved from an open functional position, in which a vehicle interior is accessible from outside for entry and/or egress and in which the wall element is situated in a frontal area of the motor vehicle, into a closed functional position, in which the vehicle interior is sealed to the outside by the wall element.

Opening and/or closing device

Automobile

A loading base arrangement for a motor vehicle has a rear seat with a back rest and a seat cushion. Furthermore, there is provided a base element which can be moved in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle and on which items can be deposited. The base element is connected to the back rest and, when the base element is extended, covers the seat cushion. As a result, it is possible, when necessary, to improve the loading space for transporting bulky items.
