Abstract: The invention relates, inter alia, to an energy storage device (10) for an electrically powered motor vehicle. A first support element (18) is arranged between one end (20) of a stiffening strut (16) and a battery housing (14). The first support element (18) supports the stiffening strut (16) on the battery housing (14), wherein a cross-section of the first support element (18) increases from the end (20) of the stiffening strut (16) towards the battery housing (14). A second support element (26) is arranged between a battery cell stack end side (13) and the battery housing (14). The second support element (26) supports the battery cell stack (12) on the battery housing (14), wherein a cross-section of the second support element (26) decreases from the battery cell stack end side (13) towards the battery housing (14).

Abstract: An underrun protection system for arranging on a rear of a vehicle includes a crossmember and two support arms for supporting the crossmember and for mounting on a mounting structure of the vehicle. The underrun protection system further includes two connecting devices for mounting the crossmember on the support arms. The connecting devices serve as reinforcing parts for the partial reinforcement of the crossmember and/or the connecting devices are designed for adjustability along the crossmember.
