Original Abstract Submitted

A floor system for a cabin of a vehicle is proposed, the floor system including a floor panel having a bottom layer, a top layer and a continuous stiffening structure having an alternating arrangement of elongated first depressions and elongated protrusions arranged between the bottom layer and the top layer, an elongated cover component, and at least one seat rail component. The cover component has an upper surface, a lower surface, and an elongated second depression reaching from the upper surface to the lower surface and having a shape that corresponds to the shape of the first depressions. The cover component is configured to be mounted inside a first depression that is accessible through an elongated cutout extending along a depression of the stiffening structure. The at least one seat rail component is attachable to the cover component to provide a seat rail along the floor panel.
