VERSTÄRKTES KRAFTFAHRZEUGINNENRAUM

摘要

The invention relates to an automobile passenger compartment (10), comprising a lower structural body element (12) which has a pair of seating elements (14) on both sides of a median longitudinal plane (P) of symmetry. Said element consists of two horizontal floor elements (16) which are connected by a central longitudinal tunnel (18) of the vehicle and on both sides of which two longitudinal structural boxes (20) are arranged. Each of the seating elements (14) overhangs an associated floor element (10) and is fixed on the tunnel (18) and on the structural box (20) by first (13) and second (15) longitudinal fixing elements. The invention is characterized in that at least one transversal cross-member (34) extending transversely between the structural box (20) and the upper horizontal face (19) of the tunnel (18) is provided on each side of said tunnel (18). These cross-members contribute to the transversal rigidity of the vehicle passenger compartment, transmitting the forces (F) resulting from a transversal impact from one side of the vehicle to the other.
