A motor vehicle () has a vehicle body () and at least one electrical energy storage means. A charging connection apparatus is mounted to the vehicle body () and can be connected to a charging plug () supplied from the outside for charging the electrical energy storage means. The charging connection apparatus has an adapter () mounted to the vehicle body (), a charging housing () mounted to the adapter () and a plug () mounted in the charging housing (). The plug () is connected to the electrical energy storage means and can be connected to the charging plug (). The adapter (), the charging housing () and the plug () are configured to conform to the charging plug () in the country where the motor vehicle () is used.

Charging connection apparatus for a motor vehicle

A device is provided for fastening a battery module () to a bodyshell () of a motor vehicle. The battery module has a battery () and a support () connected fixedly to the battery. The support () has an undercut () that interacts with an undercut () on the bodyshell. Such a connection can be produced in a simple manner and, moreover, is reliably secure in the event of a crash, in particular a rear crash of the motor vehicle.

A fastening apparatus () for a battery () in a motor vehicle () has a carrier device () for carrying the battery (). A clamping strap () encloses the battery () at least in sections and has opposite first and second end sections (). The first end section () is fastened to the carrier device (). A clamping arrangement () is coupled to the second end section () of the clamping strap () and connects to the carrier device (). An actuator () of the clamping arrangement () sets a prestress in the clamping strap ().

A protective housing () for a galvanic cell in a motor vehicle four side walls () that form a lateral enclosure for a receptacle space for the galvanic cell. A base and a cover () extend across the lateral enclosure of the receptacle space. A cover cross member () is attached to the cover () and projects out beyond two opposed side walls () for connection to a shell of the motor vehicle so that the protective housing () is suspended in a rotationally fixed fashion in the motor vehicle.

A support for an airbag housing of a motor vehicle, in particular for a knee airbag housing, has a support strut which is connected to the airbag housing. The support strut is mounted in a carrying frame of the vehicle by at least one elastic element. As a result of the mounting of the support strut by way of the elastic element, connecting elements, for example screws, can be dispensed with and noise generation is prevented.

A cross member, in particular a cockpit cross member, for a motor vehicle, is connectable at both ends to a vehicle body and supportable in a central area via a supporting element on a longitudinal transmission tunnel of the vehicle. The cross member has at least two cross member elements which are joined together at the end in a central area of the cross member via a connecting member. The connecting member allows compensation of tolerance in the transverse direction of the vehicle. The cross member is connected to the supporting element via the connecting member, the connection between the connecting member and the supporting element allowing compensation of tolerance in the z direction.

Cross member, in particular a cockpit cross member

A crossmember, such as a cockpit crossmember of a motor vehicle, is connected on the longitudinal end sides to A pillars of a motor vehicle front end structure. The crossmember is supported in the central region via a supporting frame against a longitudinal central tunnel. The supporting frame has two downwardly directed supporting elements and a connecting member connecting the two supporting elements at their lower end. The connecting member can be fixed to the longitudinal central tunnel via at least one fixing device, which permits the connecting member to be aligned with respect to the longitudinal central tunnel. This enables a stress-free and simple installation of the crossmember.

In a seat console, weight sensors for measuring the weight of occupants are arranged, which are provided between a top frame and a bottom frame of the console. So that a floating bearing of the top frame in the bottom frame is ensured, the top frame and the bottom frame are held to be supported by the weight sensors. In order to avoid damage or a faulty measurement, the top frame dips into the bottom frame in an open manner.
