摘要

The fastening element(5,6) for a functional unit(8,9) is designed as a multi-member strut arrangement projecting from the cross member(4) of the body. The members of the strut arrangement are connected alone to the cross member to transmit force, or connected together with another part of the structure(1). The fastening element may be formed as a U-form strut arrangement with two spaced apart connecting points(5b,5c,6b,6c) on the cross member, or as a Z-form arrangement with a connecting point on the center tunnel or body floor.
