Abstract
A wheel housing shell for a vehicle having an underbody that faces a roadway, on which the motor vehicle travels during operation. During operation of the vehicle on a wet roadway, in particular when driving through shallow water, for example when aquaplaning, splash water is displaced from the wheels of the motor vehicle, which forms fountains that in turn generate at least one splash water force. To improve the wheel housing shell for the motor vehicle with respect to driving through shallow water, for example when aquaplaning, the wheel housing shell has a splash water drainage geometry in a rear region in relation to a forward driving direction, which is configured and arranged, such that the splash water in the rear region of the hydropower-optimized wheel housing shell is tangentially discharged downwards in the direction of the roadway by the splash water drainage geometry during operation of the motor vehicle.
