    Automakers are increasingly switching from body-on-frame construction to unibody construction for vehicles. In unibody construction, the body parts themselves provide rigidity and strength, which significantly lowers the base weight of the vehicle and increases gas mileage. In body-on-frame construction, the frame acts as the vehicle's foundation and supports the weight of the body and other parts attached to it, but results in a heavier overall vehicle weight. The transition to unibody reflects a focus on advancing technology to improve fuel efficiency.

    INTRO:

    Changes in the manufacturer of automobiles is the


    norm these days, and advancing technology means
    that changes go deeper and have more of an
    impact than ever before. One good example of this
    is the recent switch from body-on-frame
    construction to a unibody construction. What
    prompted this change, and which option is better
    for you? There are several factors to consider in the
    body-on-frame vs. unibody construction feud.

    DEFINITION:

    UNIBODY- Unibody construction has no separate


    frame. The body is constructed in such a manner that
    the body parts themselves supply the rigidity and
    strength required to maintain the structural integrity
    of the car. The unibody design significantly lowers the
    base weight of the car, and that, in turn, increases gas
    mileage capabilities.
    BODY ON FRAME- In body on frame construction, the
    frame is the vehicle’s foundation. The body and all
    major parts of a vehicle are attached to the frame. It
    must provide the support and strength needed by the
    assemblies and parts attached to it.
    In other words, the frame is independent, separate
    component because it is not welded to any of the
    major units of the body shell.
