Abstract

The invention is directed to a vehicle body platform (1) for an automobile, comprising a passenger body module (100) having a front structural interface (110) and a rear structural interface (120). The vehicle body platform further comprises a front body module (200) having a rear structural interface (220) 210 and a rear body module (300) comprising a front structural interface (310). The rear structural interface (220) of the front body module (200) and the front structural interface (110) of the passenger body module (100) are corresponding structural interfaces configured to mechanically interconnect the passenger body module (100) with the front body module (200) and the front structural interface (310) of the rear body module (300) and the rear structural interface (120) of the passenger body module (100) are corresponding structural interfaces configured to mechanically interconnect the passenger body module (100) with the rear body module (300).
