Claims (27)

1. A truck chassis frame, comprising:

a front frame facing a front of a vehicle, and the front frame including a first front side rail and a second front side rail spaced apart from each other in a width direction of the vehicle;

a rear frame facing a rear of the vehicle; and

a mounting module connected between the front frame and the rear frame, the mounting module having a mounting space in which a component is mounted;

wherein the mounting module includes a first side frame, and a second side frame spaced apart from the first side frame in the width direction of the vehicle;

wherein a front end of the first side frame and a front end of the second side frame are connected to the first front side rail and the second front side rail of the first frame by a pair of first mounting brackets, a pair of second mounting brackets, and a pair of third mounting brackets;

wherein the mounting module includes a first front connecting member and a second front connecting member by which a front end of the first side frame and a front end of the second side frame are connected in the width direction of the vehicle; and

wherein the first front connecting member intersects with the second front connecting member.

2. The truck chassis frame according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting space is defined between the first side frame and the second side frame.

3. The truck chassis frame according to claim 1 , wherein the first side frame has a first reinforcing member and a second reinforcing member, and wherein the first reinforcing member is symmetrically disposed with respect to the second reinforcing member.

4. The truck chassis frame according to claim 1 , wherein the second side frame has a third reinforcing member and a fourth reinforcing member, and wherein the third reinforcing member is symmetrically disposed with respect to the fourth reinforcing member.

5. The truck chassis frame according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting module includes a plurality of connecting members by which the first side frame and the second side frame are connected.

6. The truck chassis frame according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting module includes a first upper connecting member and a second upper connecting member by which an upper end of the first side frame and an upper end of the second side frame are connected, and

wherein the first upper connecting member is symmetrically disposed with respect to the second upper connecting member.

7. The truck chassis frame according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting module includes a first lower connecting member and a second lower connecting member by which a lower end of the first side frame and a lower end of the second side frame are connected, and

wherein the first lower connecting member is symmetrically disposed with respect to the second lower connecting member.

8. The truck chassis frame according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting module includes a first rear connecting member and a second rear connecting member by which a rear end of the first side frame and a rear end of the second side frame are connected in the width direction of the vehicle, and

wherein the first rear connecting member intersects with the second rear connecting member.

9. The truck chassis frame according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting module further includes a plurality of first extension members extending outwardly from the first side frame.

10. The truck chassis frame according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting module further includes a plurality of second extension members extending outwardly from the second side frame.

11. The truck chassis frame according to claim 1 , wherein the first side frame includes a first front frame member facing the front frame, a first rear frame member facing the rear frame, a first upper frame member connecting an upper end of the first front frame member and an upper end of the first rear frame member, and a first lower frame member connecting a lower end of the first front frame member and a lower end of the first rear frame member, and

wherein the second side frame includes a second front frame member facing the front frame, a second rear frame member facing the rear frame, a second upper frame member connecting an upper end of the second front frame member and an upper end of the second rear frame member, and a second lower frame member connecting a lower end of the second front frame member and a lower end of the second rear frame member.

12.
