Patent attributes
The present invention relates to a floor structure for a motor vehicle with accommodating means for at least two energy storage modules, wherein the accommodating means comprise at least two longitudinal members and at least two cross members. In addition the present invention relates to the use of such a floor structure in a vehicle with an electric and/or internal combustion engine. The technical problem of providing a floor structure that in the event of accidents, in particular side impacts, improves the protection of the batteries in floor structures of vehicles without adversely affecting the weight or the costs, is solved in that the accommodating means have at least one deformation zone with defined deformation behavior between the energy storage modules.
