METHOD FOR EXTENDING AN ASSEMBLY HALL OF A MOTOR VEHICLE MANUFACTURING PLANT AND ASSOCIATED ASSEMBLY HALLS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for extending an assembly hall of a motor vehicle manufacturing plant, in order to produce a new assembly hall from a former assembly hall of several years, said former assembly hall including a first assembly line for the assembly of a first vehicle segment. The aforementioned first assembly line comprises two facing sections (1, 2) separated by a space. The method is characterised in that it includes a step comprising the installation of two body trimming sections (8), forming part of a second assembly line for the assembly of a second vehicle segment, in the space between the sections of the first assembly line such that said four sections are parallel to one another, in order to increase the vehicle production rate of the second assembly line.
