Vehicle body front part structure
A vehicle body front part structure includes: a pair of left and right front side frames extending in the vehicle front-rear direction; and a front bulkhead connected to front ends of the front side frames. The front bulkhead includes: a pair of upper and lower lateral members extending in the left-right direction; and a pair of left and right vertical members extending in the up-down direction so as to connect ends on the outer sides in the vehicle width direction of the lateral members to each other. A forward extension part extending toward the front of the vehicle is provided at a lower end of the vertical member. A first load transmission member located on a more outer side in the vehicle width direction than the front side frame is fixed to the forward extension part.

PULTRUDED BEAM WITH TRACER ELEMENT FOR LOCATING FIBER REINFORCEMENT POSITION
A pultruded profile is provided that has fiber reinforcements longitudinally extending parallel relative to each other along the length of the pultruded profile. A tracer element is disposed longitudinally along one of fiber reinforcements. A resin is disposed over the fiber reinforcements and the tracer element to form a consistent cross-sectional shape continuously along a length of the pultruded profile. The tracer element is identifiable at a cut end of the pultruded profile to provide an indication of a location of the corresponding fiber reinforcement of the plurality of fiber reinforcements in the pultruded profile.
Wheelchair conversion vehicle with a modified K-frame and a method of manufacturing the same
A modified rear suspension K-frame herein may include a main support beam having a rear subframe bushing on each end of the main support beam. At least two arms are fixedly connected to the main support beam. A bracket is fixedly connected to an end of each of the at least two arms, wherein the end is farthest away from the main support beam. At least two front subframe bushings are located on a top surface of the at least two arms between the main support beam and the bracket.
Rear subframe structure
A rear subframe structure is provided with a rear subframe configured such that a front cross member, a rear cross member, a pair of left and right upper side members, and a pair of left and right lower side members are connected; and a vehicle-body mounting portion formed on each of both ends of the front cross member, and on each of rear ends of the upper side members. The rear subframe further includes a pillar portion formed between the upper side member and the lower side member; a first-arm support portion formed on the pillar portion to support a first arm; a second-arm support portion formed on the pillar portion to support a second arm; and an arm support bracket to support the second-arm support portion from a rear side.

Rear subframe structure
A rear subframe structure is provided with a rear subframe including a front cross member, and a pair of left and right side members connected to the front cross member, and further including a vehicle-body mounting portion formed on both ends of the front cross member. The rear subframe includes a tunnel portion formed in a middle of a lower portion of the front cross member, and a brace extending in the vehicle width direction, and including a tunnel-portion mounting portion on left and right ends thereof. The brace includes a middle downwardly bulging portion bulging downwardly, and an upwardly bulging portion continued outwardly of the middle downwardly bulging portion and bulging upwardly. An inflection point between the middle downwardly bulging portion and the upwardly bulging portion is substantially located on an imaginary line linearly connecting the left and right tunnel-portion mounting portions in the vehicle width direction.

VEHICLE
A vehicle includes a turbine engine. The turbine engine is mounted on a frame member on a front side of the vehicle and has a turbine engine body and an exhaust pipe coupled to a rear side of the turbine engine body in a front-rear direction of the vehicle. A fragile part configured to be crushed more easily than another part of the exhaust pipe is formed in the exhaust pipe on the turbine engine body side.
