Abstract: A seat module for a motor vehicle that includes a carrier element having at least one seat row upon which at least two seats are secured. Each seat row has walls defining an opening which is accessible from outside of the motor vehicle and which extends laterally as a hollow space into the carrier element. The walls are fixed at least partially peripherally to facilitate raising of the seat module via introduction of a lifting element from outside of the motor vehicle into the hollow space for installation of the seat module into the motor vehicle or removal of the seat module from the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A transport vehicle that includes at least one seat to receive passengers thereon, the at least one seat being moveable between a non-stowed position permitting a passenger to sit thereon, and a space-saving stowed position to permit a transport of goods. A cover is provided and moveable between a non-operating position and an operating position to at least partially cover at least one side wall of the motor vehicle and also the at least one seat in the space-saving stowed position.

Abstract: A vehicle that includes seat cross-members arranged opposite each other on both sides of a center tunnel defining a space, a battery device as an energy accumulator for an electric drive motor of the vehicle, the battery device including a battery housing which at least partially fills the space in the center tunnel, and a load path optimization component arranged in the battery housing at the space of the center tunnel, to transmit forces laterally from one seat cross-member to the other seat cross-member.

Abstract: A method for producing a motor vehicle having a body shell that includes a platform composed of metal and a vehicle body composed of metal which is fitted on the platform. The method includes producing, separately from a remainder of the body shell, a main floor module that includes a main floor of the body shell and at least one drive-specific component, and attaching the main floor module to an already dip-coated platform and/or to an already dip-coated vehicle body.

Abstract: A fastening arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising a component, a load-bearing structural element of the motor vehicle, and at least one fastening device. The component is fastened to the load-bearing structural element of the motor vehicle via the at least one fastening device. The fastening device has a clamping element in which in a normal state the clamping element reinforces the fastening of the component via the fastening device, with the action of an external force the clamping element being automatically transferred into an accident state in which the clamping element loosens the fastening of the component via the fastening device.
