Abstract
By combining at least two different vehicle front end modules and passenger cell modules, at least two groups of motor vehicles belonging to different vehicle categories can be formed. For this purpose, the two vehicle front end modules feature different distances between the engine mounts, and the two passenger cell modules feature different distances between the front seats. The individual variants of each of the four modules are designed as identical parts and are manufactured in uniform deep-drawing dies for each module.
