Abstract: A collector foil includes a base material which has at least one coating region on one side or on either side, and an uncoated region of the base material has at least one stretching region which is designed to mechanically decouple the at least one coating region from the uncoated region.

Abstract: A chassis of a motor vehicle, having at least one part that consists of a metal material and absorbs or transmits forces, at least one tape-shaped reinforcing element that consists of a fiber-reinforced metal matrix being applied to the surface of the part by thermal joining in the broadest sense. Chassis, which are of different motor-vehicle types in terms of their weight and/or their drive power and the same part, in terms of its geometric dimensions, that absorbs or transmits said forces, are characterized in that, when used in a motor-vehicle type with a higher weight and/or a greater drive power, a reinforcing element is applied to at least one surface portion, forming a load path, of this part, which reinforcing element is either not provided at all or is provided in a smaller size in a different motor-vehicle type with a lower weight and/or lower drive power.

Abstract: An axle support of a motor vehicle has two longitudinal supports and at least one cross-beam which is connected to connection points with the cross-beams having body connection points in the end areas thereof. The axle support can be installed with identical dimensions in different types of motor vehicle with respect to the weight and/or drive power thereof. When using the axle support in a type of motor vehicle with a heavy weight and/or high driving power, at least one connecting point is wound with a reinforcement element made from fiber-reinforced plastic, which, in another type of vehicle with a lower weight and/or lower driving power is either not provided or is provided in smaller dimensions.
