A vehicle has a frame including a front frame module defining at least in part a cockpit, and a rear frame module having a cargo bed support structure. The vehicle has a rear seat row or a cargo bed support structure extension disposed rearwardly of a front seat row. A wheelbase length measured between centers of front and rear wheels of the vehicle is approximately the same regardless of which of the rear seat row and the cargo bed support structure extension is disposed rearwardly of the front seat row. A longitudinal cargo pivot distance measured between the center of the front wheels and a cargo bed pivot axis is approximately the same regardless of which of the rear seat row and the cargo bed support structure extension is disposed rearwardly of the front seat row. A method of assembling a vehicle of a family of vehicles is also contemplated.

A vehicle member joining structure has: a metal member that is part of a vehicle; a resin member that is adjacent to the metal member; and an adhesive that is provided between the metal member and the resin member and joins the metal member to the resin member, the adhesive having an elastic modulus that is lower than elastic moduli of the metal member and the resin member, wherein, given that (i) L is a difference in linear expansions of the metal member and the resin member at a time of heating in a drying process after application of the adhesive, (ii) T.sub.0 is a thickness of the adhesive and (iii) T.sub.1 is a length of an end surface of the adhesive, the following predetermined relational expression is satisfied
T.sub.1.sup.2=T.sub.0.sup.2+L.sup.2.

A bag component for a product includes a first plastic film and a second plastic film. A product space is delimited by mutually opposite sides of the first plastic film and the second plastic film and a circumferentially closed boundary. The first plastic film and the second plastic film are joined along a first portion of the boundary. The first plastic film and the second plastic film form a reception space for the product and/or an insert component along a second portion of the boundary. At least one of the first plastic film and the second plastic film has at least one recess in or adjacent to the second portion of the boundary. A method for manufacturing a bag component includes forming a plastic film. A forming tool for forming at least one recess in at least one plastic film of a plastic film arrangement includes a forming surface.

A vehicle floor structure may include a floor disposed on a bottom portion of a vehicle body; a plurality of tank mounting members attached to a bottom surface of the floor; and a plurality of hydrogen tanks mounted on the plurality of tank mounting members, wherein each tank mounting member is aligned to extend in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the plurality of tank mounting members is spaced from each other in a width direction of the vehicle, each tank mounting member has a plurality of lower recessed portions provided in a lower portion thereof, and at least predetermined upper portions of the hydrogen tanks are received in the lower recessed portions of the tank mounting members, respectively.

Provided is a vehicle front structure including: a tubular front pillar; a front pillar reinforcing member mounted inside the front pillar; a dashboard cross-member that is mounted on a dashboard panel disposed on the front side of the front pillar in a vehicle front-rear direction and extends in a vehicle width direction; an inner panel reinforcing member that is disposed on the rear side of the front pillar in the vehicle front-rear direction and extends in the vehicle width direction; and a front pillar inner gusset to which an end of the dashboard cross-member in the vehicle width direction and an end of the inner panel reinforcing member in the vehicle width direction are connected, wherein the front pillar inner gusset is fastened to the front pillar reinforcing member.
