Abstract
An integral body and frame arrangement for an automobile has hollow supporting members which are made out of pressed sheet metal parts and are assembled by at least one joining technique to provide a torsion-proof construction. In one arrangement, at least two U frames are positioned one behind the other in a longitudinal direction of the automobile. The base parts of the U frames are in a floor region of the vehicle body and leg parts of the U frames extend from the floor region to an essentially vertical sidewall vehicle column and/or also extend up to the vehicle roof area. In addition, the U frames are joined directly to each other at least in the region of the free ends of the leg parts or are joined by a flat sidewall part which is mounted on at least one portion of the U frames.
