The Difference Between Monocoque Body and Body-on-Frame Structure
1 Answers
The difference between monocoque body and body-on-frame structure: 1. Different advantages: The monocoque body is lightweight, low in height, and easy to assemble; the body-on-frame structure has an independent frame, higher chassis strength, better anti-jolting performance, and better stability and safety. 2. Different disadvantages: The monocoque body has weaker torsional rigidity and load-bearing capacity; the body-on-frame structure is heavy, costly, has a high center of gravity, and poor handling. 3. Different frames: The monocoque body does not have a rigid frame, only reinforcing parts such as the front, side panels, rear, and floor; the body-on-frame structure has a rigid frame, with components such as the engine, part of the transmission system, and the body mounted on the frame via suspension devices.
