A structural part for a vehicle, e.g. a fender, floor, trunk lid, engine compartment cover, door, or roof of the vehicle, comprises a composite structure, in particular one that has a hollow cell structure such as a honeycomb structure or foam structure, said composite structure forming at least one cavity, each of which holds at least one or a plurality of electric energy cells, thus allowing batteries or the like to be accommodated in a vehicle in a compact manner and evenly distributed across the structure.
