Abstract: A structure configured to hold an electric battery for powering an electric motor, or to hold an electric battery for powering an electric motor for driving a motor vehicle, the structure including a rigid element, above and/or below which the battery is configured to be located, and, laterally on either side of the rigid element, energy absorbing elements, the energy absorbing elements including deformable members that extend at least approximately in a lateral direction.

Abstract: An arrangement for a motor vehicle having an electric or hybrid engine includes a power supply battery and reinforcing elements to protect the battery from external stresses applied to the vehicle in a longitudinal and/or transverse direction of the vehicle, in particular in the event of an impact. The reinforcing elements are separate from the battery and separate from an enclosure of the battery in particular. The battery is attached to the reinforcing elements. First structural elements of the chassis of the vehicle are sandwiched and clamped between the battery and the reinforcing elements.

Abstract: An assembly for attaching a steering column for a motor vehicle that is to be attached to a cross-member of a firewall and to a bottom cross-member of a window opening. The assembly includes a support member that extends substantially vertically, which is to be attached to the firewall cross-member and to the bottom cross-member of the window opening, and which supports a mechanism for attaching a plate of the steering column.

Abstract: A side protection device for a motor vehicle with a body and an opening for at least one passenger to access the vehicle, including: a side protection element, configured to be shifted from a closed position to an open position; an internal skeleton including a structural module of plastic and a stiffener tube of metal, the structural module including a multi-ribbed first portion, configured to receive the stiffener tube, and a second open portion, configured to define a frame for a translucent panel.
