Patent ID: 6854791

Claim:
A vehicle cell made of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material, comprising a shape-defining, thermoplastic matrix ( 2 ) having long fibers therein for reinforcement and additionally with integrated continuous fiber strands or strips ( 3 ), which combined form a supporting structure ( 4 ), with a base structure ( 10 ), which comprises a base plate ( 6 ) and, in a central zone, a first set of longitudinally running, uninterrupted continuous fiber strands ( 3 no ) integrated into the long fiber-reinforced thermoplastic matrix ( 2 ) in an upper base area (NO) and a second set of longitudinally running continuous fiber strands ( 3 nu ) integrated into the long fiber-reinforced thermoplastic matrix ( 2 ) in a lower base area (NU) underneath or near the axle plane ( 5 ), wherein the upper and the lower base areas are connected with vertical walls ( 11 ) and wherein a height spacing (h 1 ) between the upper and lower base areas (NO, NU) amounts to at least 15 cm and the base structure is connected with a front wheel suspension ( 8 ) and a rear wheel suspension ( 9 ).
