Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for assembling motor vehicles in which a drive train, chassis and floor module are pre-assembled and then connected to a shell of the motor vehicle. The floor module is pre-assembled in a first pre-assembly process and the drive train and the chassis are pre-assembled in a second pre-assembly process. The floor module, the drive train and the chassis are combined and then connected to the shell of the motor vehicle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for assembling motor vehicles, the method comprising: pre-assembling a drive train, a chassis and a floor module; and connecting the pre-assembled drive train, chassis, and floor module to a shell of the motor vehicle, wherein the floor module is pre-assembled in a first pre-assembly process along a separate pre-assembly line and the drive train and chassis are pre-assembled in a second pre-assembly process along a further, separate pre-assembly line, wherein the floor module, the drive train and the chassis are combined and then connected to the shell of the motor vehicle, wherein constructional units of the floor module, the drive train and the chassis are connected to one another after the combining of the floor module, drive train, and chassis and before the connecting the floor module, drive train, and chassis to the shell. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein equipment with a plurality of variant-specific constructional units is provided on the floor module. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of constructional units are provided on the floor module depending on a drive concept of the corresponding motor vehicle. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the chassis and the drive train are pre-assembled on an auxiliary carrier before being connected to the floor module. 5. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising: placing the floor module onto the auxiliary carrier. 6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: performing function tests of the constructional units of the floor module, the drive train, or the chassis after the combining of the floor module, the drive train and the chassis, before a connection to the shell of the motor vehicle, and before an end of a main assembly line.
