A chassis for a commercial vehicle, in particular a lorry, having a front module which has, on each side of the vehicle, a longitudinal member part and having an axle module which is fastened to the outside of the longitudinal member parts on each side of the vehicle in each case in a first coupling zone of the longitudinal member parts. The axle module has, on each side of the vehicle, an individual wheel suspension. Each of two lower A-frame arms are mounted with its second limb in a second coupling zone of the respective longitudinal member part. Both the first coupling zones and the second coupling zones are designed for at least two coupling configurations. The coupling can figuration differ from one another with regard to the vertical ground clearance of the longitudinal member parts.

Chassis for a commercial vehicle and method of making and using same

In a support structure for a commercial motor vehicle including two longitudinal frame members between which a drive unit including an internal combustion engine and a transmission is arranged and wherein the support structure has an independent wheel suspension for each of the vehicles front wheels, each with an upper A-arm and a lower A-arm mounted to the support structure for supporting the front wheels, a support unit is provided which, in front and behind a space for receiving the drive unit extends around the longitudinal frame members and is fastened to the longitudinal frame members and on which at least the lower A-arms are mounted.

Support structure for a commercial motor vehicle

A vehicle frame which enables a lowering of the saddle coupling with improved stability for this, and recesses at the upper side of the lengthwise girders of the vehicle frame extending across the entire width of the frame are proposed. The saddle coupling is fastenably secured to the lengthwise girders.
