Abstract: A multi-link motor vehicle axle for the attachment of a wheel carrier to a motor vehicle body. The axle includes a first link plane and a second link plane. A first transverse link and a second transverse link are assigned to the first link plane. The second link plane includes a trapezoidal link which is attached by way of a first coupling link to the wheel carrier and by way of a second coupling link to the motor vehicle body. A longitudinal link of the multi-link motor vehicle axle is formed, which longitudinal link is connected, at its longitudinal link end facing away from the second link plane, to the motor vehicle body. The longitudinal link is attached, by way of its longitudinal link end facing toward the second link plane, to the trapezoidal link.

Abstract: A vehicle substructure for a motor vehicle driven at least semi-electrically including at least one chassis auxiliary frame for a rear axle chassis and a battery system arranged in a forward travel direction in front of the chassis auxiliary frame with a battery support structure for receiving at least one battery device. The battery support structure is connected to the body. A mounting carrier serves to transfer a load from the chassis auxiliary frame into the battery support structure in a crash event. The mounting carrier is suitable and configured so as to fixedly connect the chassis auxiliary frame and the battery system to one another prior to being installed in the vehicle, thereby providing a pre-mounting assembly. The mounting carrier can be downwardly disengaged from the chassis auxiliary frame and the battery system after the marriage has been established.

Abstract: An axle device for the connection of a wheel to the body of a vehicle, having a wheel carrier for the fastening of the wheel, a first link and a second link for force-transmitting connection to the body, which links are both connected to the wheel carrier, furthermore having a supporting link with a carrier portion, which is connected to the wheel carrier, and with a body portion for force-transmitting connection to the body. The supporting link has a spring portion or supporting a spring unit and a damper portion for supporting a damper unit, which spring portion and damper portion are spaced apart from each other in the direction of travel of the body. The body portion has a torsion support portion with fastening freedom in the direction of travel and in the transverse direction of the body and with fastening stiffness in the vertical direction of the body.

Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle which is equipped with a driving dynamics control system by which individual wheels of the motor vehicle can be braked in a targeted manner. In order to prevent the occurrence of undesirable noises during maneuvering of the motor vehicle, during a maneuvering operation, in which two front wheels are turned with a large wheel lock, wherein friction occurs at the front wheels because of ground contact, one of the wheels is influenced in a targeted manner in order to pull or to force the motor vehicle onto a smaller turning circle during the maneuvering.

Abstract: A stiffening element for a subframe of a motor vehicle, including a substantially horizontal section in order to confer rigidity to the subframe in the horizontal plane, and a substantially vertical section in order to confer rigidity to the subframe in the vertical plane, wherein the stiffening element is designed in such a manner that the stiffening element is arrangeable on the subframe above a steering mechanism.

Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle which includes an active chassis system with which it is possible to change a wheel load distribution between two rear wheels and two front wheels which are deflected relative to a supporting structure of the motor vehicle by a steering system during a maneuvering process, wherein friction occurs at the front wheels owing to ground contact. In order to prevent the occurrence of undesired noise during the maneuvering, during the maneuvering process with the large wheel deflection, the wheel load at a first wheel pair, which comprises a left/right front wheel and a right/left rear wheel arranged diagonally with respect thereto, is reduced selectively compared to a second wheel pair, which comprises a right/left front wheel and a left/right rear wheel arranged diagonally with respect thereto, in order to reduce the friction at one of the two front wheels during the maneuvering.

Abstract: A system for supporting the torque of an internal-combustion engine has a support arranged transversely in the vehicle. This support has a strut as well as a support arm. These two support parts are connected with one another by way of an elastic bearing, the strut being fastened on a camshaft housing and the support arm being fastened on the side member of the vehicle. The elastic bearing is connected with the vehicle body structure, for example, on a spring strut dome, by way of a console.
