A motor vehicle has a supporting frame with a bearer part which is arranged thereon and on which, in turn, additional units together with their connecting lines are pre-assembled. To simplify assembly or repair, the frame has, in the region of the wheel housing, a perforation. In the region of the perforation, the bearer part is assembled. After the mounting of the bearer part equipped with the additional units and the connection or laying of the connecting lines, the perforation is subsequently closed. That is, after the painting of the frame, the perforation is closed by a cover plate which can be attached on the outside.

Motor vehicle and process for production thereof

A longitudinal bearer support for a forward longitudinal bearer supported under angular bending at the end wall of a self-supporting motor vehicle body, whereby the end wall is locally bulged out in the direction of the vehicle end within the connecting area of each forward longitudinal bearer in such a manner that a form-rigid body results; each forward longitudinal bearer is forked in its approach at the form-rigid body and the resulting arms at least partially surround the form-rigid body; two arms are created by the forking which, extending either parallelly to one another or at an angle to one another, lead to the subfloor.
