Body structure of motor vehicles

A body structure for a motor vehicle with a passenger compartment structure and at least one supporting structure adjoining thereon for accommodating a driving unit and wheel suspension elements, which said supporting structure is connected through holding elements with the passenger compartment structure, wherein the supporting structure, having a region connecting to the passenger compartment structure and a rear end region, is constructed as an enveloping device of high strength which is reinforced with a supporting device and surrounds the driving unit at around at least regionally, the enveloping device having several openings, providing access to the driving unit, and being provided with bearing mountings for the driving unit and the wheel suspension elements, and

• wherein the enveloping device, adjacent to the connecting region has a support means, which is integrated in the enveloping device, positioned adjacent said passenger compartment structure to provide support in the transverse direction of the motor vehicle.

A body for a motor vehicle with a passenger compartment structure and at least one supporting structure adjoining thereon for accommodating a driving unit and wheel suspension elements, which said supporting structure is connected through holding elements with the passenger compartment structure, wherein the supporting structure, having a region connecting to the passenger compartment structure and a rear end region, is constructed as an enveloping device of high strength which is reinforced with a supporting device and surrounds the driving unit all around at least regionally, the enveloping device having several openings, providing access to the driving unit, and being provided with bearing mountings for the driving unit and the wheel suspension elements, and

• wherein a support means is integrated into the enveloping device, positioned adjacent said passenger compartment structure to provide support in the transverse direction of the motor vehicle.

A body structure for a motor vehicle with a passenger compartment structure and at least one supporting structure adjoining thereon for accommodating a driving unit and wheel suspension elements, which said supporting structure is connected through holding elements with the passenger compartment structure, wherein the supporting structure, having a region connecting to the passenger compartment structure and a rear end region, is constructed as an enveloping device of high strength which is reinforced with a supporting device and surrounds the driving unit all around at least regionally, the enveloping device having several openings, providing access to the driving unit, and being provided with bearing mountings for the driving unit and the wheel suspension elements, and

• wherein the enveloping device and the passenger compartment structure are connected with one another through several screws, which are aligned in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

A body structure for a motor vehicle with a passenger compartment structure and at least one supporting structure adjoining thereon for accommodating a driving unit and wheel suspension elements, which said supporting structure is connected through holding elements with the passenger compartment structure, wherein the supporting structure, having a region connecting to the passenger compartment structure and a rear end region, is constructed as an enveloping device of high strength which is reinforced with a supporting device and surrounds the driving unit all around at least regionally, the enveloping device having several openings, providing access to the driving unit, and being provided with bearing mountings for the driving unit and the wheel suspension elements,

• wherein, when viewed from above, an opening of the enveloping device is dimensioned so that the housing of the driving unit is visible and accessible, and
• wherein the opening as a shape of an isosceles triangle, the apex of which is adjacent to the rear end region of legs of the triangle, leading away from the apex, having an outwardly directed, arc-shaped course.

A body structure having a front to rear axis, left to right axis, and top-to-bottom axis for a motor vehicle with a passenger compartment structure and at least one supporting structure adjoining thereon for accommodating a driving unit and wheel suspension elements, which said supporting structure is connected through holding elements with the passenger compartment structure, wherein the supporting structure, having a region connecting to the passenger compartment structure and a rear end region, is constructed as an enveloping device of high strength which is reinforced with a supporting device and surrounds the driving unit completely in the front to rear axis, left to right axis, and top-to-bottom axis, the enveloping device having several openings, providing access to the driving unit, and being provided with bearing mountings for the driving unit and the wheel suspension elements.
