Abstract

A motor vehicle, in particular a utility vehicle (UV), with a vehicle frame and/or a sub-frame (2; 2a) that has contact surfaces (10; 10a) extending transversely and/or longitudinally relative to the driving direction (F) and are connection surfaces to other structural units (6; 7; 8; 12). The structural units are connected by connecting elements (11) that pass through the contact surfaces (10; 10a). The connecting elements each define an axis (13) and are aligned such that the axes of the connecting elements extend through the contact surface (10; 10a) at an angle different from 90°.
