1. A clamping system for fastening a vehicle attachment element to a carrier element of a vehicle, said clamping system comprising:
a chamber element disposed on one of the vehicle attachment element and the carrier element; and
a pin element disposed on the other of the vehicle attachment element and the carrier element,
wherein the clamping system is configured as a zero-point clamping system,
wherein the chamber element is configured to be electrically actuated by an electrical power source via an electrical circuit that is connected to the chamber element,
wherein, in an activated state of the power source, the chamber element is configured to either release or receive the pin element therein, and, in the deactivated state of the power source, the chamber element is configured to lock the pin element thereto,
wherein the zero-point clamping system comprises an interface that is disposed on the chamber element and forms part of the electrical circuit,
wherein the interface is configured to be connected to the pin element on the vehicle attachment element via the electrical circuit, such that the zero-point clamping system can also be used for transmission of vehicle data via the electrical circuit.
