Abstract
Abstract Motor vehicle bodies of different types are assembled by the prearrangement of a standard type of floor (2) and sides (3) forming a single pre-assembled space structure (1) common to all types of body, and a series of different types of subassembly (5, 8,12) for completing the structure, which can be assembled with the latter in a second step to produce the different types of body. At least a part of each subassembly for completion of the body comprises a bottom wall (9) and two side walls (10).
