What is the Difference Between Monocoque Body and Body-on-Frame?
1 Answers
The differences between monocoque body and body-on-frame are: 1. Different structures: In a monocoque body vehicle, all components are directly installed on the body; in a body-on-frame vehicle, components are installed on the chassis frame, and the body does not bear the vehicle components. 2. Different maintenance: Monocoque bodies are more complex to repair; body-on-frame vehicles make it easier to replace parts or perform maintenance. 3. Different collision behaviors: In a monocoque body, the front and rear frames collapse during a collision to absorb impact forces and protect occupants; due to the presence of the chassis frame, body-on-frame vehicles cannot collapse like monocoque bodies to absorb impact forces during a collision.
