Abstract

A bottom structure for a self-supporting motor vehicle frame body, especially a passenger automobile frame body, has two lateral beams extending into the rear. The beams are joined together in the rear area by at least two spaced-apart crossbeams. At least one central longitudinal strut reaches or extends between the crossbeams and is disposed parallel to the lateral beams with broadened thrusting surfaces and the ends of the strut resting against the crossbeams.
