Abstract
A floor assembly for a passenger car includes a double-walled floor provided with local reinforcements between laterally external side members and a center tunnel. To reduce the cost of manufacturing and assembly of the floor assembly, the double-walled floor on the driver and passenger sides is formed by at least one hollow member manufactured by the internal high-pressure shaping method. The respective hollow members abut the associated laterally external side member and the center tunnel and are permanently connected therewith. The reinforcements are formed by wall sections of the respective hollow body that are adjacent to one another areawise and are opposite one another.
