  • Mounting arrangement of an electrically driven motor vehicle
    Patent number: 11084366
    Abstract: A mounting arrangement of an electrically drivable motor vehicle has at least one battery module housing that accommodates multiple battery cells to form a battery module. The battery module is oriented with its longitudinal extension transverse to a longitudinal extension of the motor vehicle. In addition, at least one separate load transfer element for transferring a crash load that occurs is present. The load transfer element is situated on each end-face side of the battery module housing, between a body part and an end-face side of the battery module housing. The arrangement is provided in such a way that when a crash load is introduced into the body part, a load path is formed that encompasses at least the body part facing the crash, the load transfer element facing the crash, the battery module housing, the load transfer element facing away from the crash, and the body part facing away from the crash.
