FLAT CASING FOR A TRACTION BATTERY OF AN ELECTRIC OR HYBRID VEHICLE, PROVIDED WITH A STIFFENED COVER
An electric or hybrid motor vehicle traction battery casing forming a substantially rectangular flat assembly, comprising a metal cover sheet (14) fixed by its contour on the top of this casing, which has ribs (16) made in its thickness and arranged along axes forming concentric rounded closed contours (22), each closed contour comprising a plurality of arcuate ribs (16) separated from one another by flat intermediate zones (24), between two neighbouring closed contours (22) the flat intermediate zones (24) forming angular sectors which do not overlap.
The invention relates to an attachment part (1) intended to be mounted in a longitudinal member (3) positioned at the rear of a vehicle (2) for attaching a rear axle to the longitudinal member (3), the attachment part comprising a central portion (5) that comprises a first opening (7) intended to receive a first attachment element for attaching an axle (30) to the longitudinal member and a first lateral edge (9) that extends from the central portion and is intended to extend along a first lateral wall (11) of the longitudinal member. The attachment part comprises a second lateral edge (12) that extends from the central portion and is intended to extend along a second lateral wall (14) of the longitudinal member, the second lateral edge comprising attachment means that are intended to attach an attachment arm (17) of a coupling crossmember (18) to the second lateral edge and to the second lateral wall of the longitudinal member.
