Abstract
A method and a supply line structure for transmitting information between electrical components in a motor vehicle is described. The information is transmitted over a data bus. At least some of the components are powered via a supply line structure. To make the transmission of information between the components fail-safe, the information is also transmitted over the supply line structure in addition to over the data bus at least after a failure of the data bus.
