Abstract

On an intake pipe (1) developed for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle which leads to an air filter housing (3), there is arranged on the outside on the intake pipe (1) a housing (11) containing an engine-control electronics. The housing (11) has a bottom (13) which is cooled by the stream of air in the intake pipe (1). In this way, despite the great closeness of the internal combustion engine, sufficient cooling is obtained of the electronic structural parts of the engine-control electronics.
