Carrosserie à châssis plate-forme : Dans cette technique, la conception se rapproche de celle à châssis séparé. La plate-forme porteuse est constituée par un châssis allégé et le ou les planchers, assemblés par soudure par points. Elle forme une base très rigide, portant les organes mécaniques, comme c'était le cas pour le châssis, et elle pourrait circuler sans la carrosserie. 2, record 1, French, - ch%C3%A2ssis%2Dplateforme

Stitchfolding and clinching are simple and cost-effective methods for sheet material assembly. They do not require any rivets or screws or other separate fasteners. They do not require any complex systems for high power and cooling which are typical for spot welding installations. The reason is that clinching and stitchfolding equipment generally are driven by simple compressed air or from the mains. 1, record 3, English, - clinching

L'assemblage par clinchage est exclusivement mécanique. Il n’ y a pas fusion de matière. C'est pourquoi cette technique est utilisée pour l'assemblage de métaux de natures différentes. Par exemple, en carrosserie automobile, pour assembler des tôles en aluminium sur un châssis en acier. Dans ce cas, le clinchage remplace le soudage électrique par points. 2, record 3, French, - clinchage
