Abstract
A vehicle body comprises elements which are connected in a reinforcing manner with side rails of the body and consist of two struts which taper in a V-shaped manner toward the vehicle rear. These are connected with one another by at least one cross member. The free ends of the V-shaped struts are connected with a one-piece carrier plate which comprises two trapezoidal segments connected with one another by way of an integrated cross member. One trapezoidal segment has profiled lateral edges which extend as a lengthening of the V-shaped struts.
