Frame
Frame concept
Feature
• 2 U-section longitudinal frame members with welded tubular
cross-members and reinforcements in the frame profile
• Offset design, no components protruding downwards
• Robust steel bumper
• Special torsionally flexible connection flange
Advantage
• Heavy-duty, flexible and torsionally flexible frame offering
high elasticity
• No permanent deformation even after extreme diagonal torsion
• Enables all four wheels to remain permanently in contact with the
ground in all driving situations
• Safe and controlled off-road driving
• Installation of drive units at lowest possible point:
low centre of gravity, high ground clearance
• Protection of components in off-road terrain
• Robust protection from mechanical influences in collisions
• Transmission of high torsional forces between longitudinal and
transverse members
Frame with attachment fixtures for non-MB bodies [CD5], front mounting
