Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rear underbody for a vehicle with a rear frame structure, a floor structure forming a floor for a footwell of the vehicle and a closure structure delimiting the footwell rearwardly. Background technique [0002] Such underbody panels of the body are common in vehicles, especially automobiles. Such underbody panels are often used in so-called small cars and higher class vehicles. [0003] In the cost-effective production of vehicles, in particular passenger cars, it is an aim during the development of new vehicle models that as many components and parts of the vehicle body structure as possible be able to use components and parts from the next higher level of the vehicle body. It is also an attempt to maintain an assembly sequence in the manufacture of such a vehicle that is consistent with the assembly sequence already established in the manufacture of the next higher level vehicle. This allows the vehicle to be built on th...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the problem with this low-cost vehicle manufacture is that many of the components and parts of the next higher level vehicle are not suitable for use in smaller vehicles because they are too large
