Abstract: A body for a passenger car has a body-in-white structure which is located behind a wheel well for a front wheel of the passenger car and which has a transverse member that extends on the outside of a longitudinal beam of the body-in-white structure in front of a front end wall of the body-in-white structure in the vehicle transverse direction. The transverse member has a catch element which is designed to catch a rim of the front wheel that has moved backwards in the vehicle longitudinal direction in the event of an accident and is turning in rearward towards the vehicle center. The body-in-white structure has an A-pillar located behind the catch element, a lateral sill located behind the catch element, and a support element which is located in the A-pillar and via which the catch element that has moved backwards in the event of an accident and, via the catch element, the rim that has moved backwards in the event of an accident, can be supported towards the rear on the lateral sill.

Abstract: A component, in particular a body component, for a vehicle, has at least one test section which is arranged in a predetermined area of the component and which is connected in one piece to the rest of the component by way of at least one connecting element. The connecting element is embodied as predetermined breaking point.

Abstract: A motor vehicle has a body, wherein the body has body openings, in which auxiliary devices such as lamps, turn indicators, or the like are arranged. A body wall surrounds the body opening and has a body flange formed at the particular body opening, to which body wall a cup-shaped insert is fastened, wherein the particular auxiliary device is fastened to the cup-shaped insert. The cup-shaped insert has a peripheral or partially peripheral, bent flange segment having a fastening segment, which extends parallel to an inner surface of the body wall surrounding the body opening. A glue or an adhesive layer is applied between the outer surface of the fastening segment of the flange segment of the cup-shaped insert and the inner surface of the body wall. A seal is arranged in an intermediate space between a flange segment of the cup-shaped insert and the body wall.

Abstract: A support for a motor vehicle body-in-white includes a straight longitudinal portion that includes at least one cavity which is delimited by walls of the support and inside of which a reinforcing element is accommodated and is fastened in the longitudinal direction of the support. The reinforcing element is force-locked to the support so as to be fastened in the longitudinal direction of the support.

Abstract: A profile strip of a vehicle body is provided, wherein the profile strip is configured with at least one shell component made of fiber-reinforced plastic material and with at least one pultrusion component. The profile strip is subjected to bending in a bending direction and the pultrusion component is arranged alongside the shell component, as seen in the bending direction. The pultrusion component is configured with an outer shell and with at least one inner crosspiece, which is coupled to the inside of the outer shell. The at least one inner crosspiece extends in the bending direction and the at least one shell component has additional inner ribs, which extend likewise in the bending direction.
