Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An underfloor unit ( 10 ) for protecting components of a motor vehicle, in particular a traction battery for electrically driving the motor vehicle, from ground impacts is provided. The underfloor unit ( 10 ) has a floor panel ( 12 ) for covering the motor vehicle component on the ground side and a plurality of separate impact protection tiles ( 16 ) connected to the floor panel ( 12 ) and intended for taking up ground impacts. As a result of the multiplicity of impact protection tiles ( 16 ), only individual impact protection tiles ( 16 ) need be exchanged on being subjected to a hard absorbed ground impact, thus making it possible to have a motor vehicle with low maintenance and/or repair costs.
