A motor vehicle () has a drive train in the region of a front axle. A body of the motor vehicle has connection points () for a laterally arranged internal combustion engine, a vehicle transmission () and a torque plate of a motor vehicle () that can be driven exclusively by the internal combustion engine. The connection points () also are connection points for a hybrid drive train (). The vehicle uses a modular design principle and can be equipped with differently designed drive systems, including conventional drive exclusively by an internal combustion engine and hybrid drive, without having to make structural modifications. The hybrid drive train may be a serial hybrid or a parallel hybrid.

A battery device has at least two interconnected battery modules and at least one cooling plate arranged between two battery modules for cooling the battery modules. A housing encases the battery device and is provided with a frame structure. The at least one cooling plate is traversed by a flow of fluid and is formed from two metal layers that are connected to one another. Additionally, the at least one cooling plate is connected fixedly at least by its ends to the frame structure and stiffens the frame structure. Thus, the battery device exhibits high power and is robust.
