Abstract
A structural part for a vehicle, e.g. a fender, floor, trunk lid, engine compartment cover, door, or roof of the vehicle, comprises a composite structure, in particular one that has a hollow cell structure such as a honeycomb structure or foam structure, said composite structure forming at least one cavity, each of which holds at least one or a plurality of electric energy cells, thus allowing batteries or the like to be accommodated in a vehicle in a compact manner and evenly distributed across the structure.

1-25. (canceled)
A structural part for a vehicle, comprising:
- a composite structure that forms at least one cavity, each of which holds one or a plurality of electric energy cells;
- and
- a control device configured to:
- detect structural conditions of the structural part, and
- electrically isolate the electric energy cells of the composite structure from an energy supply system of the vehicle individually, in groups or as a whole, when a predefined condition arises, wherein the predefined condition is a predefined structural condition of the structural part.
A structural part for a vehicle, wherein the structural part holds a plurality of flat, constructionally self-contained electric energy cells, the electric energy cells include at least two current collectors that project sideways in a direction substantially perpendicular to a thickness direction of the structural part.
An electric energy cell including an active part that supplies electric energy and having a flat shape and at least two current collectors which form electrical poles of the electric energy cell, wherein the electric energy cell is pliable.
An electric energy cell including an active part to supply electric energy and being formed in a flat shape and at least two current collectors which form electrical poles of the electric energy cell, wherein the electric energy cell is curved in at least one spatial direction.
