unibody construction

With unitized body construction, the front, rear and side rails are welded together with the floor pan, cross members and torque boxes to form a single “unit,” whereas body-on-frame construction has two pieces, the body and the frame

Commonly used for car and mini van construction in which a solid robust frame is not required

Provides an advantage of less vehicle weight that helps contribute to performance and fuel economy.
