Subframe for buses with low-floor chassis and method for manufacturing such a subframe

摘要

A subframe for buses with low-floor chassis comprises at least three modules fixed together, viz. a forward subframe module (11) with longitudinal members (2, 3) and means for fastening this module via a forward frame module (5) to a forward wheel housing of a bus or an articulation of a so-called articulated bus, a door position module (12) with longitudinal members and cross-members which connect these latter and are mutually arranged to define a location for applying a door for boarding and alighting from the bus, and a rear subframe module (17) with longitudinal members and means for fastening this module via a rear frame module (7) to a rear wheel housing of a bus or a said articulation.
