Abstract
A chassis of a motor vehicle, having at least one part that consists of a metal material and absorbs or transmits forces, at least one tape-shaped reinforcing element that consists of a fiber-reinforced metal matrix being applied to the surface of the part by thermal joining in the broadest sense. Chassis, which are of different motor-vehicle types in terms of their weight and/or their drive power and the same part, in terms of its geometric dimensions, that absorbs or transmits said forces, are characterized in that, when used in a motor-vehicle type with a higher weight and/or a greater drive power, a reinforcing element is applied to at least one surface portion, forming a load path, of this part, which reinforcing element is either not provided at all or is provided in a smaller size in a different motor-vehicle type with a lower weight and/or lower drive power.
