A vehicle cockpit includes a head-up display, a transverse beam, and an end wall for separating the cockpit from the engine compartment. To fit the head-up display in a relatively easy manner, a holder is provided for pre-fitting or pre-installing the head-up display on the transverse beam and for a final fitting of the head-up display on a further supporting body part. As a result, the transverse beam with the pre-fitted head-up display can be inserted in the vehicle as a module.
