At least one battery is arranged at least partially in the battery receptacle. At least one deflector element is arranged between the battery receptacle and the vehicle component. And the deflector element is configured such that the vehicle component, standing in contact with the deflector element due to a sideways and/or forward displacement of the vehicle component, is pressed downward by the exhaust silencer in a floor direction.
