A body structure for a motor vehicle includes two inner sills having an undulating cross section, a floor panel arranged in the transverse direction of the vehicle between the inner sills, and two funnel-shaped force-introducing elements which are connected in respective front sill regions to the inner sills and widen in a funnel-shaped manner transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and, behind respective front wheelhouse regions, are supported on the rear side by their respective widened end region on a bulkhead of the body structure. A motor vehicle includes a body structure of this kind.

An energy store floor assembly for an electrically driven motor vehicle includes an electrical energy store device, which is accommodated in a multi-part store housing and is situated on the underside of a vehicle floor of the energy store floor assembly. To create an energy store floor assembly which can be constructed in a more simple and lightweight manner, at least one longitudinal support is arranged inside the store housing of the energy store device and is connected at least at one end at least indirectly to a motor vehicle support component situated in the region of the front end.

A profile strut includes an upper chord, a lower chord, two spaced-apart lateral walls which, together with the upper chord and the lower chord, define an interior, and a first profile end and a second profile end. A first end piece is disposed in the first profile end and a second end piece is disposed in the second profile end. A connecting web connects the first end piece to the second end piece. Each of the first end piece and the second end piece bears via end faces thereof against adjacent inner wall regions of the upper chord and the lower chord; respectively. An intermediate region, which is configured as a tunnel incorporated into the lower chord, is disposed between the first profile end and the second profile end.
