A vehicle body comprising a plurality of identical modular elements connected side by side to each other to define one side of the body, additional identical modular elements defining the other side of the body, each of said modular elements including an upper portion that forms part of the roof of the body,
- a central beam running longitudinally of the body along the center of the roof of the body,
- and angles provided on the ends of the modules for connecting the side walls to the beam.
A vehicle body comprising
- parallel side walls each made up of a plurality of identical modular elements,
- frame sections lying in vertical planes and joining each adjacent pair of modular elements, said frame sections being made up of a pair of parallel, spaced apart rod-like members joined by an intermediate rigid member,
- flanges provided on the side edges of each of the modular elements and bent around the rod like members,
- and means fastening the flanges of adjacent elements to the spaced apart parallel rod-like members of one of the frame sections.
