Abstract: A front wall module for delimiting a front of a passenger cell in a motor vehicle includes a planar carrier structure which forms a front wall portion where a functional shape for receiving a component is formed in the planar carrier structure and where the planar carrier structure is a cast aluminum structural part.

Abstract: A method for producing a braided preform, includes the steps of: a) creating a braided sleeve from filler threads and braiding threads in a braiding process, for which purpose the filler threads and braiding threads are taken off thread accumulators, b) feeding a core to the braided sleeve, c) continuing the braiding process, wherein the core is advanced such that it is braided along its length, wherein, during step c), the take-off of at least one filler thread is blocked such that the at least one filler thread is pulled out of at least one section of the braided sleeve surrounding the core.

Abstract: A floor assembly for a motor vehicle has a front chassis module, in particular a front axle support, and a rear chassis module, in particular a rear axle support, as well as a housing of a stored electrical energy source, which is situated between the chassis modules as seen in the longitudinal direction of the floor assembly. The floor assembly includes at least one terminating component via which the housing of the stored electrical energy source can be fixed to a body part of the motor vehicle. The at least one terminating component is designed as a constituent part of at least one of the chassis modules. A motor vehicle includes such a floor assembly.
