A frame for the body of a vehicle, specifically a passenger automobile, has a box-like framework which includes a roof frame, a base frame, corner columns connecting the roof frame and base frame, and at least one supporting structure. The supporting structure is essentially aligned in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle outside the box-like framework and comprises two symmetric fork-shaped girders with their outer prongs connected to corner columns, their inner prongs connected to the base frame and their struts connected to a bumper.
