Included are a pair of left and right front side frames extending in a vehicle front-rear direction, and each including an inner side frame on an inner side and an outer side frame on an outer side; and a gusset member arranged on a vehicle width direction outer side of a vehicle front-side end portion of each front side frame, and including an inclination portion which inclines such that, in its plan view, becomes closer to the front side frame toward a vehicle rear. A vehicle front-side end portion of the outer side frame includes a width widening portion which becomes wider outward in a vehicle width direction. The gusset member includes a fixation portion which is vertically fixed to the width widening portion.

A vehicle has improved energy absorbing capability and occupants have increased blast survivability. The vehicle includes a suspended floor assembly. The floor assembly may be suspended by, at least in part, one or more suspensions arms that have an extendable portion. The floor assembly may also have a yaw plane energy absorber between the floor assembly and a wall of the vehicle.

Systems and methods produce or provide a folded connection, sealed by means of an adhesive composition, between a first sheetlike element and a second sheetlike element. The systems and methods bond a second flange of the second sheetlike element with at least one layer of an adhesive composition to a first flange of the first sheetlike element, in such a way that an end of the second flange of the second sheetlike element is indented by a distance relative to an end of the first flange of the first sheetlike element. The systems and methods bead the first flange of the first sheetlike element around the second flange of the second sheetlike element and, after the beading, an adhesive-composition part is placed around an edge of the first flange of the first sheetlike element and bonded to a second surface of the first flange of the first sheetlike element.

A body component has a side edge, which extends in a longitudinal direction and on which at least one pre-fastening device is formed. The pre-fastening device has a section that protrudes from the side edge in a transverse direction, on which section a tab pointing toward the side edge is formed. The tab can be bent in a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and is configured to be able to engage behind a frame edge of a vehicle frame part in a pre-fastening manner.

A fiber composite body, in particular a structure stiffening element, has a number of struts which are formed by reinforcing fibers which are embedded in a polymer matrix and which in a region of the respective strut run substantially parallel to one another. The struts are arranged in a truss-like profiled structure which is produced by winding or intertwining the reinforcing fibers.

A connection layer system includes a cabin manager disposed between a chassis layer and a cabin layer. The chassis layer has a function for traveling. The cabin layer functions as a cabin on an upper side of the chassis layer. The cabin manager includes a controller configured to change distribution of a power supply used in the cabin layer based on a kind of application of the cabin layer.
