  • Motor car with a fastening arrangement for fastening a subframe for a vehicle axle to a body of the motor car
    Patent number: 12679462
    Abstract: A motor car with a body and a fastening arrangement for fastening a subframe for a vehicle axle to the body. The subframe has respective side members and cross members and adjoins a body structure element by way of a region. An underfloor energy storage unit for an electric drive of the motor car adjoins the subframe. The subframe has a support device with a support element which support device supports the subframe on the body structure element in the event of an accident-induced movement in a direction towards the center of the motor car. The support element is arranged on the upper side of one of the side members and at a distance from the body structure element. In the assembled state there is a distance between the subframe and the energy storage unit which is greater than the distance between the support element and the body structure element.
