Abstract: The application relates to roof segments for constructing a roof of a carriage body for a rail vehicle for passenger transport, in particular for use in short-haul operation, such as underground and suburban trains, the rail vehicles or the train units formed by same must be accelerated and decelerated at short intervals. The roof segments are designed in the form of plates, shells or half-shells and consist of an outer wall and an inner wall at a distance to same. At least two roof segments are configured in such a way that the protruding region of the outer wall or inner wall of one roof segment is interlockingly, force-lockingly and/or integrally connected to the non-protruding region of the outer wall or inner wall of the neighbouring roof segment. The roof segments consist at least partially of a fibre-reinforced plastic composite.

Abstract: A car body has at least: two lateral walls, each of which is made of a lower and upper longitudinal member that are connected by multiple lateral wall segments and vertically arranged columns, a roof, a base, two end walls or one end wall, and a head module, wherein the lower longitudinal members of the two lateral walls are connected to the base by means of connection elements in the longitudinal direction of the car body, and the upper longitudinal members of the two lateral walls are connected to the roof by means of connection elements in the longitudinal direction of the car body. The lower and upper longitudinal members are designed as multichamber hollow profiled sections which are continuous over the entire length of the car body, the lower and upper longitudinal members are made of fiber-reinforced plastic, and the connection elements at least partly consist of metal.
