Body construction deals with the design of the body, one of the three most important components of a modern vehicle alongside the chassis and drive train. Today, the concept of the self-supporting body is used for the vast majority of vehicles in the civilian sector, which forms the basis for most special vehicles. Only for trucks is a frame construction still common today, which can also be used for various specialized military vehicles.
Body construction for special vehicles
For body construction in special vehicle construction, the focus is naturally on the individual requirements of the customer, from military vehicles to ambulances with special box bodies. Depending on the vehicle and order, existing bodies can be modified or completely new parts can be developed that are optimized for the challenges of the respective application. Repairs can also be carried out on damaged parts or defective parts can be replaced. We also offer these services ourselves at Norrenbrock Technik.
As a rule, body construction is closely linked to the other specialist areas of special vehicle construction in order to achieve optimum implementation of the installed technical solutions, such as the construction or expansion of mobile workstations or the accommodation of equipment, including a self-sufficient energy supply, broadcasting equipment and other vehicle technology. The right conditions must be created at the planning stage.
