Abstract
A motor vehicle has a drive battery which is accommodated in a drive battery housing. The drive battery housing is arranged and fastened on a floor structure, in particular on an underside, of a body of the motor vehicle. The drive battery housing has a lateral, in particular a left-hand and a right-hand, outer housing carrier structure which is arranged below, in particular left-hand and right-hand, side sills of the body in such a way that a first collision load path in a vehicle transverse direction, which is formed (substantially only) by the side sills and the floor structure of the body, and a second collision load path in a vehicle transverse direction, which is formed (substantially only) by the drive battery housing, are (substantially) completely separate from one another.
