A dashboard support for a motor vehicle to be installed between and connected to two pillars located on opposite vehicle sides. The dashboard support has a support structure provided by a hollow profile, which support structure has at least one support portion having a curvature. A planar reinforcement part spanning this curved support portion on the inside of the curvature is arranged on the outside of the support structure. The planar extension of the reinforcement part faces toward the curvature and the ends of the reinforcement part facing in the spanning direction are connected to the outer surface of the support structure.

A module carrier assembly for positioning between the A-pillars of a motor vehicle body comprising a transverse carrier configured as a hollow body profile and at least one steering column holder connected to the transverse carrier and supported at the outer side of the transverse carrier in the x-direction. The at least one steering column holder is configured as an angle piece and is supported by a support surface provided by a first limb at a first outer wall of the transverse carrier. The steering column holder has a further limb extending below the transverse carrier. The steering column holder carries a support projection which extends through the outer wall of the transverse carrier adjoining the support surface of the steering column holder and up to at least the opposite wall of the transverse carrier. The support projection is connected in a vibration-coupled manner to this opposite wall.

An embodiment front vehicle body structure includes a fender apron upper member, a front side member coupled to a front portion of the fender apron upper member, and a front pillar unit coupled to a rear portion of the front side member and a rear portion of the fender apron upper member, the front pillar unit including an aluminum material.

A motor vehicle has a body with a front section, a floor structure which adjoins the front section, and a floor panel, on the two longitudinal sides of which a sill is in each case arranged. The sills run from an A pillar, adjoining the front section, of the body as far as a C pillar of the body. An inner longitudinal member is on each longitudinal side of the floor panel. A bulkhead is arranged between the front section and the floor structure. Each sill is constructed from an inner C profile and an outer C profile. The first and second profile flanges of the C profiles, arranged in an overlapping manner, are connected, in particular welded, to the inner longitudinal member.

An electric powered vehicle including a traction motor is disclosed. The vehicle may further include a body including a cabin and a front body; a subframe mounted at a lower portion of the front body and supporting a suspension along with the front body; and a battery unit mounted a t a lower portion of the cabin and configured to supply electric power to the traction motor. The subframe may include a side rail extending in front-rear directions of the electric powered vehicle and is secured to a rail mount portion of the body at a rear end of the side rail. The battery unit may include a bracket projecting in a front direction of the front-rear directions and is secured to the rail mount portion of the body at the bracket.
