The DIN rail is a standard rail for mounting of electrical modules. Nothing to do with van structures. As Tobi correctly presumed, in the case we have here, the term obviously refers to reinforcement steel beams/profiles in metal structures (normally welded to the structure body to increase its rigidity).

DIN rail
or top hat rail
but this depends on the context. my answer refers to the rails which are used in switch cabinets for example.
your sentence does not give enough context.

your other question looks like a different context
it seems that your \'Hutprofile\' are reinforcement plates with a hat-shaped section, but i don\'t know an exact term for them
maybe anyone else can help ...
