A supporting frame for a motor vehicle has two parallel longitudinal members oriented in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle and form part of the body. Two longitudinal struts are oriented at least partially in the longitudinal direction and are fixed at first ends to a contact section of the longitudinal members. The longitudinal struts are connected at a second end opposite the first end to an impact plate that is arranged on at least one driving component of the motor vehicle to form a load path between the contact section of the longitudinal members and the at least one driving component.

Supporting frame for a motor vehicle

A mounting frame () for an electrically driven motor vehicle () has two frame beams () oriented in a longitudinal direction () of the motor vehicle (). An electric drive unit () for driving the motor vehicle () is mounted on the frame beams (), and has an electrical component () formed separately from the electric drive unit (). The electrical component () is accommodated in a flexurally stiff housing () that is mounted on the mounting frame (). The frame beams () form a frame arrangement which is open outwardly in the longitudinal direction (), and the housing () of the electrical component () is mechanically fixedly connected to the two frame beams () to form a closed frame section together with the frame beams ().

An electric drive unit () for driving the motor vehicle () is mounted on the longitudinal beams (). The longitudinal beams () form a frame arrangement that is open out in the longitudinal direction (). A flexurally stiff hollow body () is formed separately from the longitudinal beams () and is fixed to the mounting frame (). The hollow body () is arranged between the longitudinal beams () and is mechanically fixedly connected to the longitudinal beams () to form a closed frame section.
