Abstract

A motor vehicle rear end has left and right longitudinal beams () forming load-bearing structures of the vehicle, and a receiving housing () is between the left and right longitudinal beams () for accommodating a traction battery. The receiving housing () has left and right side walls () and a central wall () running in a forward direction of travel. An impact profile () is connected to the longitudinal beams () at the level of the receiving housing () and absorbs impact energy in the event of a rear-end crash. The impact profile () has a left and right predetermined buckling points () that enable the impact profile () to buckle toward the receiving housing () in a rear-end crash. The impact profile () that buckles in a rear-end crash strikes the receiving housing () along the longitudinal extent of the central wall ().
