The front wall of the body must have the necessary strength and toughness to support the forces generated by the transported
load, in the case of sudden and high decelerations.

Realization of van boxes
A structure consisting of box section longitudinal and cross members may be used for connection to the chassis of the vehicle. For
the longitudinal profiles, refer to the indications in Table 3.4.
Figure 14 shows an example installation where, in order to contain the height of the superstructure, the longitudinal profiles are
integrated with cross members and brackets over the entire length.
In this case, the rear wheel arches may be inserted into the base of the structure.

When the floor makes use of cross beams which are no more than 700 mm apart and connected in such a way as to create a suffi-
ciently rigid structure (self-supporting), it may not be necessary to use longitudinal profiles.
The front wall of the van box must have the necessary strength and toughness to withstand the forces generated by the transpor-
ted load, in the event of sudden and high decelerations.
