ABSTRACT:
A chassis of modular construction for commercial vehicles has a front vehicle subframe and a rear vehicle subframe connected thereto, an individual wheel suspension having a spring and/or shock-absorber strut and also an upper transverse link and a lower transverse link formed on the front vehicle subframe on each side of the vehicle. The front vehicle subframe is composed of two side consoles assigned in each case to one side of the vehicle, an upper crossmember connecting the two side consoles to each other at the top and a lower crossmember connecting the two side consoles to each other at the bottom. Each side console is connected to the rear vehicle subframe. One of the upper transverse links is mounted on each side console and one of the spring and/or shock-absorber struts is supported thereon. The two lower transverse links are mounted on the lower crossmember. Each side console has two lower ends one behind the other in the vehicle longitudinal direction, the lower crossmember connecting the four lower ends of the two side consoles to one another.
