Abstract
A method for producing a motor vehicle and a correspondingly produced motor vehicle having a modular construction, in which a substructure and at least one superstructure module are produced independently of one another and are subsequently permanently connected together.
Claims17
A method for producing a motor vehicle, comprising:
- producing a substructure and at least one superstructure module of the motor vehicle, the substructure and the superstructure module each having at least one edge region;
- painting at least the edge region of the substructure and/or the edge region of the superstructure module;
- and
- connecting, via an adhesive, the edge region of the substructure and the edge region of superstructure module, after the painting of at least the edge region of the substructure and/or the edge region of the superstructure module,
- wherein the substructure and the superstructure module are positioned relative to one another by way of a tolerance-compensating screw connection, so that the edge region of the substructure and the edge region of the superstructure module are fixed in the relative position thereof by way of the tolerance-compensating screw connection during curing of the adhesive, the entire tolerance-compensating screw connection being disposed at a position entirely outside of the edge region of the substructure and the edge region of the superstructure module.

- and
- connecting, via a non-adhesive, the substructure and the superstructure module,
- wherein the substructure and the superstructure module are positioned relative to one another by way of a tolerance-compensating screw connection, so that the edge region of the substructure and the edge region of the superstructure module are fixed in the relative position thereof by way of the tolerance-compensating screw connection during curing of the adhesive, the entire tolerance-compensating screw connection being disposed at a position entirely outside of the edge region of the substructure and the edge region of the superstructure module.

- painting a superstructure module of the motor vehicle independently of the painting of the substructure;
- connecting, via an adhesive, an edge region of the substructure and an edge region of the superstructure module, after the painting of the substructure and the painting of the superstructure module;
- and
- permanently connecting, via a tolerance-compensating screw connection, a base part of the substructure and a wall part of the superstructure module by positioning the substructure and the superstructure module relative to one another via the tolerance-compensating screw connection so that the edge regions of the substructure and the superstructure module are fixed relative to one another by way of the tolerance-compensating screw connection during curing of the adhesive, the entire tolerance-compensating screw connection being disposed at a position entirely outside of the edge region of the substructure and the edge region of the superstructure module.
