Abstract
A method for producing a motor vehicle having a body shell that includes a platform composed of metal and a vehicle body composed of metal which is fitted on the platform. The method includes producing, separately from a remainder of the body shell, a main floor module that includes a main floor of the body shell and at least one drive-specific component, and attaching the main floor module to an already dip-coated platform and/or to an already dip-coated vehicle body.

A method for producing a motor vehicle having a body shell that includes a platform composed of metal and a vehicle body composed of metal which is fitted on the platform, the method comprising:
- producing, separately from a remainder of the body shell, a main floor module that includes a main floor of the body shell and at least one drive-specific component;
- assembling attachment parts on one or more of the platform or the vehicle body, after the dip coating, such that an assembly fitter or an assembly tool may utilize accessibility to an interior of the motor vehicle through an open floor of the body shell;
- and
- attaching the main floor module to one or more of an already dip-coated platform or an already dip-coated vehicle body.
A method for manufacturing a group of motor vehicles that includes at least a first motor vehicle and a second motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- producing, separately from a remainder of the body shell, a main floor module that includes a main floor of the body shell and at least one drive-specific component;
- and
- attaching the main floor module to one or more of an already dip-coated platform or an already dip-coated vehicle body,
- wherein identical main floor modules are attached to one or more of different platforms or different bodies of the first motor vehicle and the second motor vehicle.
A method for manufacturing a group of motor vehicles, the method comprising:
- producing, for each motor vehicle in the group, separately from a remainder of the body shell, a main floor module that includes a main floor of the body shell and at least one drive-specific component;
- assembling, for each motor vehicle in the group, attachment parts on one or more of the platform or the vehicle body, after the dip coating, such that an assembly fitter or an assembly tool may utilize accessibility to an interior of the motor vehicle through an open floor of the body shell;
- attaching, for each motor vehicle in the group, the main floor module to one or more of an already dip-coated platform or an already dip-coated vehicle body,
- wherein different main floor modules are attached to one or more of identical platforms or identical bodies of each motor vehicle in the group.
