1. A vehicle structure comprising:
an electrochemical electrical energy store;
an energy store receiving space in which the electrochemical energy store is received, wherein the energy store receiving space is delimited at least in part downwardly by a lower cross member and upwardly by an upper cross member,
wherein the vehicle structure has a longitudinal profile, and wherein a deformation space is arranged geometrically between the longitudinal profile and the electrochemical energy store, and
wherein the electrochemical energy store has an energy store pressure plate on a side of the electrochemical energy store facing the longitudinal profile,
and
an extended pressure plate arranged in the deformation space, wherein the extended pressure plate has a longitudinal profile contact region, an upper pressure plate diagonal member, and a lower pressure plate diagonal member,
wherein the longitudinal profile contact region is configured to be contacted by the longitudinal profile, and
wherein the upper pressure plate diagonal member extends from the extended pressure plate in a direction of the upper cross member, and the lower pressure plate diagonal member extends from the extended pressure plate in a direction of the lower cross member.
