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 ().

Fastening apparatus for a battery in a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle having a fastening apparatus of this type

A motor vehicle body has at least two sills running laterally in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. An auxiliary frame is provided in a region of a front axle and at least one strut is provided, the strut running between the auxiliary frame of the front axle and one of the two lateral sills. This makes it possible in particular to increase the natural frequency of a vehicle front end by structurally simple and also cost-effective measures.
