Abstract: In a motor vehicle having a front-end structure, a front bulkhead separates the front-end structure from an interior space, and a braking unit fixed to the front bulkhead has a master brake cylinder and a brake booster. The braking unit is pivotable about a pivot axis which runs through the front bulkhead, with an arrangement for pivoting the braking unit being arranged at a distance from the pivot axis and interacting with components arranged in the front-end structure in the event of a vehicle collision. In order to reliably reduce the risk of injury to a driver of a motor vehicle in the footwell region in the event of a vehicle collision, a transmitting element is provided to prevent a relative movement between the arrangement for pivoting the braking unit and the pivot axis.
