A body-in-white of a passenger car includes a frame structure which is peripherally closed and delimits a receiving space for a drive battery. The frame structure is formed by first cross members which are spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction and by first side members which are spaced apart from one another in a transverse direction. Second side members adjoin the frame structure in the longitudinal direction. Third side members and second cross members are disposed in the receiving space. The third side members connect the first cross members to one another and the second cross members connect the first side members to one another. The second side members adjoining the frame structure, as viewed in the longitudinal direction, each have, in a connection region to a respective first cross member, at least a partial overlap with the corresponding third side member disposed within the receiving space.
