We describe generalizations of the manifestly E 6(6) covariant formulation of five‐dimensional gauged maximal supergravity with regard to the structure of the vector and tensor fields. We indicate how the group‐theoretical structures that we discover seem to play a role in gauged supergravities in various space‐time dimensions.
