Production method
Punch-riveting
The number of punch rivets has increased by
around 40 % to approx. 1800 compared to the
A8. This is because the bonding techniques
“beading” and “resistance spot welding” are
no longer used.
Punch-riveting is mainly used to join panels,
extruded profiles and combinations of the
two over the entire A2 Space Frame.
This is a result of the positive experiences
that were made with punch riveting on the
A8-Space-Frame.
Only semi-tubular rivets are used in the A2-
Space-Frame, with different dimensions
depending on the component combination.
