Abstract
A motor vehicle includes a frame chassis including two longitudinal beams and at least first and second cross members between the two longitudinal beams, and a battery box arranged at the rear end of the vehicle between the beams with vibration damping mounts, wherein the mounts of the battery box comprise a front mount connecting the front side of the battery box to the first adjacent cross member and a rear mount connecting the rear side opposing the front side of the battery box to the second adjacent cross member. By suspending the battery box from the cross members of the chassis frame, the mounting brackets do not collide with other components that must be accommodated in or mounted on the longitudinal chassis beams. Moreover, the battery support system according to the invention provides an advantage in terms of space.
