MODULAR VEHICLE FRAME FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE

The present invention relates to a modular vehicle frame (1) for an electric vehicle, comprising a plurality of extruded profiled beams (16, 17, 18, 19), which have, at least in portions, a substantially identical cross-sectional area, wherein: at least one connecting element (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) for an electric motor (2), a steering system (3), a cooler unit and/or a suspension system (4) can be arranged on the plurality of profiled beams (16, 17, 18, 19) by means of a frictional and/or interlocking connection; each profiled beam (16, 17, 18, 19) has a main direction of extension (76); each profiled beam (16, 17, 18, 19) has at least three channels (60, 62, 64) along the main direction of extension (76) which are formed by at least two projections (29) within the profiled beam (16, 17, 18, 19); each channel (60, 62, 64) forms a central axis (78) along the main direction of extension (76); a mounting plane is defined by the central axes (78); and the modular vehicle frame (1) has at least one fastening unit (66) which is designed to fasten the profiled beams (16, 17, 18, 19) substantially orthogonally to the main direction of extension (76), or substantially orthogonally to the main direction of extension (76) in the mounting plane.
