What does non-load-bearing body mean?
1 Answers
Non-load-bearing body refers to a frame that carries the entire vehicle body, engine, suspension, and body. The frame has screw holes for fixing the body and base mounts for securing the springs. Also known as a chassis frame, the non-load-bearing body is suspended on the frame and connected via elastic elements. Characteristics of non-load-bearing bodies include: 1. High body strength, as the steel frame provides strong rigidity; 2. An independent frame with high chassis strength; 3. Even if the forces on the four wheels are uneven, they are borne by the frame and not transmitted to the body; 4. The chassis and body can be assembled separately and then integrated together, simplifying the assembly process.
