Abstract
A floor structure of a motor vehicle is provided that includes, but is not limited to a mounting for a starter battery in a cross member adjoining wheel arches for rear wheels. The cross member comprises two stiffening webs and is designed tub-shaped between the stiffening webs. Because of this, the starter battery is reliably protected against a crash.
