ABSTRACT:
A structural assembly for a cockpit of a motor vehicle comprising a crossmember which extends over the width of a vehicle interior and is designed as a supporting structure. The crossmember and a dashboard attached thereto are constructed from a driver's module, a central module and a front passenger's module. The modules are designed so that adjacent modules can be fastened to one another, either both indirectly via an adapter part directly. By an appropriate selection (or elimination) of the adapter parts the crossmember and the dashboard can be adapted to different vehicle widths. When assembled, the crossmember and the dashboard form a pre-assembled, self-supporting reinforcement unit which, when installed in the motor vehicle, reinforces the motor vehicle in the transverse direction.
