A vehicle structure includes a longitudinal structural element at each of its side edges, at least two shells superposed in such a manner as to form a housing, each shell being connected to the structural elements; at least one battery component comprising an energy storage unit arranged in the housing; and at least one fastener element connecting a shell to a member situated in the housing or to the other shell, the fastener element(s) being arranged in such a manner that the or at least one battery component is in compression in the shell-superposition direction, essentially corresponding to the vertical direction.

Vehicle structure including a battery

The invention relates to a method of making a part () of thermoplastic material covered on the surface by an electrically conductive foil () of thickness less than 0.1 mm, the part also including a rib (), and the method comprising a step of depositing on an inside surface of a mold defining the shape of the part (), an electrically conductive foil () in such a manner as to cover at least part of a blind orifice of the mold opening out into its inside surface and defining the shape of the rib (), a step of forming at least one opening () through the foil () leading to the orifice and shaped to allow the fluid thermoplastic material to pass therethrough, and to ensure that the foil () remains in a single piece, and a step of filling the mold with fluid thermoplastic material.

Method of making a ribbed part out of thermoplastic material covered in a conductive foil, and a ribbed part

The invention relates to a reinforcement piece () for reinforcing a piece of motor vehicle bodywork, the reinforcement piece comprising at least one strip () of thermoplastic material defining at least one opening () in the piece (), the piece being covered at least in part in an electrically-conductive covering ().
