Abstract
A wall unit forms a part of the outer wall of a vehicle cab. In order to simplify the accommodation of electrical components in the vehicle cab and to reduce the cost of wiring, the wall unit is configured as a pre-assembled module, which includes a support structure on which electrical components, such as vehicle function controllers, fuses and relays, are fastened. The electrical components are at least partially covered by enclosure elements. The electrical components can be electrically connected with corresponding vehicle component groups via connectors.
