  • Patent number: 11814101
    Abstract: A front-end structure for a motor vehicle includes two first bodyshell parts spaced apart from each other in the transverse direction of the vehicle for a self-supporting body of the motor vehicle, and includes a bulkhead in the form of a second bodyshell part for the self-supporting body. At least one assembly carrier forwardly overlaps at least a partial region of the bulkhead in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and is in the form of a third bodyshell part for the body, and via which the two first bodyshell parts are connected to each another. A carrier element is formed separately from the assembly carrier and separately from the first bodyshell parts, and is mounted on the assembly carrier in a vibration-damped manner via bearing elements and on which at least one component for the motor vehicle, which component is formed separately from the bodyshell parts, separately from the carrier element and separately from the bearing elements, is held.

  • Patent number: 11511822
    Abstract: An electric motorcycle includes a housing for housing an electric motor and/or a transmission. The housing is positioned at the center of the electric motorcycle in a front view. An internal cooling device and/or an electronic component and two cooling elements extend outward from opposite sides of the housing. Exterior cooling ribs are arranged on the cooling elements. The cooling ribs extend in the longitudinal direction of the electric motorcycle, such that the cooling elements and the cooling ribs are directly in contact with the air surrounding the electric motorcycle. The cooling device and/or the electronic component is, at least in portions, housed in and thermally connected to at least one of the cooling elements.

  • Patent number: 6696842
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic unit for identifying the charged state and/or the wear and tear of a motor vehicle battery. Said unit comprises elements for detecting the battery voltage and in addition, elements for detecting the speed of the internal combustion engine. The unit also has elements for evaluating the battery voltage according to the internal combustion engine speed during the starting operation, in relation to the charged state and/or the wear and tear of the motor vehicle battery.
