The enclosure has retaining contours, by which fixing on the pedal mount is possible. A pedal-independent high-quality sealing concept can be implemented by shifting a sealing plane between an interior of a cockpit and a footwell from the pedals toward the pedal mount. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A motor vehicle comprising: a cockpit, a footwell, a pedal mount, at least one pedal mounted pivotably to the pedal mount and projecting into the footwell, and an enclosure having retaining contours to which the pedal mount is fixed, wherein the enclosure is fixed on the pedal mount and forms a sound and cold barrier between an interior of the cockpit and the footwell, wherein the enclosure rests in a sealed manner against a flange of the pedal mount, wherein the flange in turn rests in a sealed manner against a bulkhead and thereby allows sealing between the interior of the cockpit and the footwell. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the enclosure is of one-part design. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the enclosure is either a plastic injection molding or a foamed plastic part. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the enclosure has an injection-molded supporting structure. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the enclosure further comprises projecting flanges. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the enclosure is composed of plastic. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a footwell cover which forms a cold barrier between the interior of the cockpit and the footwell, wherein the footwell cover is connected to the enclosure. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 7, wherein the pedal mount has grooves in which the enclosure engages positively with the retaining contours and is thereby fixed on the pedal mount. ### Claim 9 A motor vehicle comprising: a cockpit, a footwell, a pedal mount, at least one pedal mounted pivotably to the pedal mount and projecting into the footwell, an enclosure having retaining contours to which the pedal mount is fixed, wherein the enclosure is fixed on the pedal mount and forms a sound and cold barrier between an interior of the cockpit and the footwell, and a footwell cover which forms a cold barrier between the interior of the cockpit and the footwell, wherein the footwell cover is connected to the enclosure, wherein the enclosure further comprises projecting flanges, and the footwell cover rests in a sealed manner on at least one flange in the installed state. ### Claim 10 A motor vehicle comprising: a cockpit, a footwell, a pedal mount, at least one pedal mounted pivotably to the pedal mount and projecting into the footwell, and an enclosure having retaining contours to which the pedal mount is fixed, wherein the enclosure is fixed on the pedal mount and forms a sound and cold barrier between an interior of the cockpit and the footwell, and wherein the enclosure is of multi-part design and has two enclosure parts each having one of the retaining contours, which enclosure parts are connected to one another.
