A box body for a commercial vehicle, which has a surface element having a panel, includes a core layer, a dimensionally stable structural layer and an intermediate layer, one side thereof being adjacent to the core layer and an opposite side being adjacent to the structural layer. An integrally joined connection is produced between the structural layer and the side of the intermediate layer and between the core layer and the side of the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer has a thickness smaller than the thickness of the structural layer and consists of a material having a density that is higher than the density of the core layer. The side of the intermediate layer adjacent to the core layer has an affinity to the foamed plastic of the core layer and the side of the intermediate layer adjacent to the structural layer has an affinity to the structural layer.

An insulating panel for a commercial vehicle superstructure, with an outer top layer and an inner top layer, including more than two plies, and with a core layer in a thermally insulating material between the top layers. At least one of the top layers is constructed as an at least three-ply sandwich, including an outer ply in light metal material associated with the respective outside of the insulating panel, an inner ply in light metal material associated with the core layer and a core ply having an integrally joined connection to the outer ply and the inner ply, including a core ply material having a higher strength than the light metal material of the outer and inner ply.

The invention relates to an axle assembly for a commercial vehicle, having an axle produced from a first metal material and at least one trailing link produced from a second metal material which has a connecting portion with a seat which the axle sits with a hollow coupling portion such that the axle and the trailing link are in torque-proof engagement with one another. In an axle assembly of this type, an optimally reliable connection between the individual components of 'trailing link' and 'axle' is ensured in a cost-effective and simple manner in that the characteristics of the metal materials from which the connecting portion of the trailing link and the coupling portion of the axle are made, are coordinated with one another such that the modulus of elasticity of the connecting portion is less than the modulus of elasticity of the coupling portion and/or the breaking strength of the connecting portion is greater than the breaking strength of the coupling portion encompassed by the connecting portion in the joined state, and/or the yield strength R, or if the metal material does not have a clearly defined yield strength R, the proof stress Rof the metal material, of which the connecting portion of the trailing link is made, is higher than the yield strength Ror proof stress Rof the metal material of the coupling portion, encompassed by the connecting portion, of the axle.
