  • Battery housing and its use in electric vehicles
    Patent number: 12043125
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a battery housing and to its use in electric vehicles. The battery housing includes at least a cover and a floor which are joined to one another and the cover is joined to the vehicle body or a part of the vehicle body forms the cover. The floor faces away from the vehicle body, is obtained by pultrusion, and is made of thermosetting plastic obtainable from a reactive resin mixture and reinforced with endless fibers, wherein the fibers run transversely to the direction of travel of the vehicle.
