ABSTRACT:
A body frame component is designed so that it absorbs at least one force acting on it. The specific shape of the body frame component results in differing load or stress conditions within different regions of the body frame component when the force is being absorbed. In particular, high load or stress conditions occur in a first region and low load or stress conditions occur in a second region of the component. A reduction in the weight of the body frame component is achieved by forming at least one through hole in a region of the low load or stress conditions for the purpose of reducing the amount of material in the body frame component. In producing the body frame component, the through hole is formed either before or during the shaping of flat material to produce the specific shape of the body frame component.
