An electric powered vehicle including a traction motor is disclosed. The vehicle may further include a body including a cabin and a front body; a subframe mounted at a lower portion of the front body and supporting a suspension along with the front body; and a battery unit mounted a t a lower portion of the cabin and configured to supply electric power to the traction motor. The subframe may include a side rail extending in front-rear directions of the electric powered vehicle and is secured to a rail mount portion of the body at a rear end of the side rail. The battery unit may include a bracket projecting in a front direction of the front-rear directions and is secured to the rail mount portion of the body at the bracket.

A front vehicle-body structure of a vehicle includes: side frames of a suspension subframe; a cross member connecting front-end portions of the side frames in the vehicle width direction; a front beam member; and a connecting member connecting a front-end portion of each side frame to the front beam member. A high-rigidity portion having a higher rigidity than other portions of the side frame is at a connecting portion between the front-end portion of the side frame and the cross member. The front beam member has a side end portion extending on a vehicle-width-direction outer side relative to a connecting position with the connecting member. A protrusion portion protruding from the side end portion toward a vehicle rear side is to come into contact with the high-rigidity portion from the vehicle-width-direction outer side when a collision load from a vehicle front side is input to the side end portion.

In a vehicle subframe 1, a first side member has a first extending portion that extends while being deflected outward on one side in a width direction as approaching from a rear side to a front side, a second side member has a second extending portion that extends while being deflected outward on the other side in the width direction as approaching from the rear side to the front side, and a second cross member is further included which is opposed to the first cross member on the front side thereof and couples a portion of the first extending portion in which the degree of outward deflection on the one side in the width direction becomes large and a portion of the second extending portion in which the degree of outward deflection on the other side in the width direction becomes large to each other.

An example apparatus disclosed herein includes a first frame subassembly and a second frame subassembly, each of the first and second frame subassemblies defining a wheel axle of a vehicle, the first frame subassembly including a first bridge portion oriented generally upward relative to the wheel axle, the second frame subassembly including a second bridge portion oriented generally downward relative to the wheel axle, and a central frame couplable to the first frame subassembly via the first bridge portion and couplable to the second frame subassembly via the second bridge portion, the central frame configured for a first ride height when coupled to the first frame subassembly and configured for a second ride height when coupled to the second frame subassembly, the first ride height greater than the second ride height.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a vehicle body reinforcement structure of an electric vehicle includes a front side member provided on both sides of the vehicle body along the vehicle body length direction, a cooling module mounted on the front side member, a frunk bar provided at the rear of the cooling module and an extension that mounts the frunk bar to the front side member with the center of the frunk bar being spaced apart from the center of the height direction of the cooling module.

Proposed is a transmission mount for a vehicle in which the structure of an upper insert and a lower insert integrated with a single bridge among components of the transmission mount is improved to reduce the static stiffness in the right-left direction (i.e., the Y direction) of the transmission mount. The strength of the transmission mount in the front-rear direction (i.e., the X direction) and the static stiffness in the top-bottom direction (i.e., the Z direction) is reinforced so that the pitching motion and the vertical bounce behavior of the transmission may be efficiently controlled. Accordingly, booming noise caused by the rolling motion of the transmission is minimized, thereby improving NVH performance and meeting driving performance.
