The general principles of unitary construction car body design are reviewed and related to the requirements of conventional spot welding techniques by reference to three current high-volume production cars. The possible evolution of new designs for body assembly using adhesive bonding technology is considered through an analysis of sill and floor joint details. These developments are then discussed in the context of the production opportunities and constraints in the motor industry.
