Abstract: A method of assembling a plurality of body structures for forming a vehicle assembly comprising the body structures, the method comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of body structures to be assembled, at least one of the body structures having a deformation region; acquiring information indicating a vehicle assembly type to be formed; mating at least one body structure with another body structure to form the vehicle assembly; and performing a deformation region treatment on at least one deformation region of at least one body structure of the vehicle assembly to form at least one deformable region based on the information indicating vehicle assembly type.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a spare wheel cavity for a vehicle. The spare wheel cavity is configured to store a collision-sensitive object and comprises a bottom wall and a side wall. The spare wheel cavity further comprises a carrier plate directly or indirectly attached to the bottom wall and a reinforcement structure located in or at the bottom wall in front of the carrier plate and/or below a front portion of the carrier plate. The carrier plate is configured to carry the collision-sensitive object on an object carrying portion of the carrier plate. The disclosure further relates to an arrangement comprising the spare wheel cavity, as well as a collision-sensitive object and/or a spare wheel. The disclosure also relates to a method of reducing a risk of a stack-up problem in case of a rear collision.
