A hose arrangement for a motor vehicle may include a flexible elongated bellows including a plurality of radially orientated pleats and two axial longitudinal ends. The hose arrangement may also include at least one reinforcement rib which, on an outside, is coupled to a pleat tip of a respective pleat of the plurality of pleats in a material-bonded manner via two-component injection moulding. The at least one reinforcement rib may engage about the respective pleat in a circumferential direction. The at least one reinforcement rib may have at least two rib segments disposed following one another in the circumferential direction. Each of the at least two rib segments may radially cover the pleat tip by a segment angle of 30&#xb0; to 310&#xb0; in the circumferential direction.

Hose arrangement

A sealing element of a motor vehicle may include a body, at least one first region, and at least one second region. The at least one first region may be composed of a first material. The at least one second region may be composed of a second material having a higher chemical resistance than the first material. A distribution of the at least one first region and a distribution of the at least one second region in a cross-sectional profile of the body may be variable in a longitudinal direction extending perpendicular to the cross-sectional profile of the body.
