A floor assembly for a driver's cab of a commercial vehicle, has a tunnel section extending in the direction of travel of the vehicle and floor sections which extend, with regard to the direction of travel, next to the tunnel section and are fastened laterally to the tunnel section. In order to simplify the formation of variants with the floor assembly, the tunnel section is of multipart construction and has, with regard to the direction of travel, a front tunnel part and a rear tunnel part connected thereto. The rear tunnel part begins at the rear floor assembly end and ends at the front tunnel part which, for its part, ends at the front floor assembly end. The tunnel parts are fastened in each case directly or indirectly to the floor sections.

Floor assembly for a driver's cab and method of making

A modularly constructed driver's cab construction series for heavy-goods vehicles can produce driver's cab variants with different length dimensions. A basic module is constructed as standard for all driver's cab variants, and a built-on module can be built on the basic module. Built-on modules can have different length dimensions for different driver's cab variants. The basic module has a front wall, two side walls, a door and door frame, a bottom and a roof, is made open to the rear, and possesses, at the rear, an annularly closed first flange-mounting region. The built-on module has a rear wall, two side-wall portions, a bottom portion and a roof portion, is made open to the front, and possesses, at the front, an annularly closed second flange-mounting region complementary to the first flange-mounting region. On the built-on module, the side-wall portions, the bottom portion and the roof portion have different length dimensions for each driver's cab variant.
