Abstract
A crossmember, such as a cockpit crossmember of a motor vehicle, is connected on the longitudinal end sides to A pillars of a motor vehicle front end structure. The crossmember is supported in the central region via a supporting frame against a longitudinal central tunnel. The supporting frame has two downwardly directed supporting elements and a connecting member connecting the two supporting elements at their lower end. The connecting member can be fixed to the longitudinal central tunnel via at least one fixing device, which permits the connecting member to be aligned with respect to the longitudinal central tunnel. This enables a stress-free and simple installation of the crossmember.
