• Channel formations can have openings towards the interior of the car body in order to be able to supply or remove heating or cooling air.
• the longitudinal side edges of the outer wall of the roof module are expedient, preferably for the representation of continuous, in particular rounded, transitions between the roof module and the side walls with a radius directed downwards or bent, so that either a welding of the opposing module long-side edges is made possible or an interlocking or overlapping of these edges and a connection by cold-jointing techniques is possible.
• the inner walls of the modules can be designed in such a way that an at least largely concealed connection possibility is created, the connection points being covered by cover strips or functional modules such as luggage racks.
• the long side edges of the inner wall of the roof module can be directed downwards in the curve, it being expedient to let these long side edges run in the horizontal direction at a distance from the adjacent inner walls of the side wall modules, so that, for example, a profile web open at the bottom is formed in the gap formed thereby can be used, which offers an optimal, at least largely concealed connection possibility from the inside of the car body.
• Floor module results, for example, if the long side edges of the load-bearing structural components facing downwards on the car body, in particular the outer walls of the side wall modules, project beyond the long side edges of the associated inner walls and with the respectively adjacent long side edges of the

• the long side edges of the floor module can also be angled downward parallel to the adjacent long side edges of the side wall modules, so that this enlarged area ensures a stable and reliable connection between the floor module and the rest of the body structure.
• the modules are to be used to build a rail vehicle with a driver's cab, at least one bulkhead module is expediently expanded to form such a driver's cab. It is useful if the bottom module, the side wall modules and the roof module projects at least at one longitudinal end, so that the driver's cab is supported on the projecting section of the floor module.
• the side wall modules can also be constructed from a plurality of partial strand profiles arranged one above the other in the installed position in one plane and joined to one another on their longitudinal side edges, partial strand profiles in the area of doors, windows and the like being able to be cut to length accordingly there from the start.
• the basic module component can be fed to the corresponding processing machines in the most favorable position for the work process.
• the procedure is expediently such that the modules are each at least largely completely completed, checked and then successively put together, in which case their fixed connection can then be carried out on respectively adjacent longitudinal side edges.

• a rail vehicle 1 has a car body 2, which is seated on bogies 3, such as motor bogies or simple bogies. At the end of a train, a cab 4 is assigned to the front of the car body 2 (FIG. 5).
• the car body consists of a floor module 5, a ceiling module 6 and two side wall modules 7, which in particular are constructed identically and in mirror image, but which can also differ by different, asymmetrical arrangement of the cutouts.
• These large modules 5, 6, 7 each extend in one piece over the entire length of the rail vehicle, provided that no driver's cab is provided.

• Insulations, inner wall linings 11 of the side wall modules 7, a ceiling inner lining 12 of the ceiling module 6 or a floor 13 of the floor module 5 can be firmly attached to such profile formations.
• Electrical or fluidic control and supply lines can be laid in molded grooves, for which molded channels can also be used. Such channels can be used directly, for example, as control or supply lines for air, water or the like.
• the individual modules 5 to 8 are as large as possible as building units prefabricated, which results in a minimal assembly effort due to the free accessibility of the individually manufactured modules with simplified logistics and ergonomic working conditions. In addition, significantly reduced testing and commissioning efforts and times can be achieved for the entire vehicle, since the individual modules can be completely pre-tested. It is expedient to provide corresponding coupling means at the ends of electrical and fluidic lines, which correspond to adapted continuations of the corresponding lines in other modules. High quality is also achieved because errors that occur can already be eliminated on the module, where better accessibility is possible with little disassembly and assembly work and practically no increase in throughput time for the entire vehicle.
• the individual modules 5-8 can be finished or have some other surface treatment.
• the modules thus finished are then assembled in a modular system.

• the longitudinal side edges 19 of the Roof modules such as the side wall module can then butt against one another during welding or overlap in sufficient width when using a cold connection in the manner of riveting. Necessary rivet holes can already be provided in the relevant edge strip of the associated longitudinal side edges.

• the longitudinal side edges 19 of the floor module are angled downward parallel to the adjacent longitudinal side edges 19 of the side wall modules 7, so that a sufficient overlap area for the connecting means and thus a reliable, rigid attachment of the upper modules 6, 7 to the floor module 5 is ensured.
• the floor module 5 projects beyond the side wall modules 7 and the roof module at a longitudinal end, so that the driver's cab 4 is on the free front section of the floor module 5 can be put on.
