ENERGY ABSORBER BETWEEN VEHICLE ROOF AND HEADLINER
An assembly for a vehicle includes a vehicle roof and a headliner supported by the vehicle roof. The assembly includes an energy absorber between the headliner and the vehicle roof. The energy absorber includes a wall extending transversely to the headliner and the vehicle roof. The wall includes a lattice structure including a repeating pattern of strips and open cells.
BATTERY REAR UNDERCOVER ASSEMBLY FOR AN ECO-FRIENDLY VEHICLE
A battery rear undercover assembly for an eco-friendly vehicle enables the bottom of a vehicle to be flattened while covering a lower portion of the rear of a high-voltage battery in an eco-friendly vehicle. The battery rear undercover assembly includes a body having a front end that can be fastened to a lower portion of a rear end of a high-voltage battery and a battery rear undercover formed to extend from each of both side ends of the body upward and formed with a side cover that can be fastened to a vehicle body of a vehicle. The battery rear undercover assembly includes a reinforcement member formed in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and fastened to an upper surface of the battery rear undercover.
DEFORMABLE REAR CROSSMEMBERS WITH SPECIAL EXTRUSION SECTION DESIGN FOR BENDING DOWN IN CRASH LOADCASES
A support extrusion for a subframe structure of a vehicle and methods of fabricating the same. In one example, a support extrusion can comprise a multicell structure that facilitates coupling the support extrusion with a rear crossmember of the subframe structure. The multicell structure can comprise a front cell column and a rear cell column that intervenes between the front cell column and the rear crossmember in a longitudinal direction of the subframe structure. The front cell column can comprise a trigger that facilitates plastically deforming the front cell column downward in a vertical direction of the subframe structure when subjected to impact forces of a frontal crash.
VEHICLE FRONT STRUCTURE
A vehicle front structure includes side frames in pairs, a bumper beam, a pair of lower frames, a lower beam, and wheels in pairs. Each of outer end parts of the bumper beam in a vehicle width direction and a corresponding one of outer end parts of the lower beam in the vehicle width direction overlap a corresponding one of the wheels as seen from the vehicle front side. In the vehicle width direction, a position of each of vehicle-width-direction outer ends of the bumper beam and a position of a corresponding one of vehicle-width-direction outer ends of the lower beam substantially coincide with a position of a mounting part of a corresponding one of brake devices that are disposed radially inside the wheels respectively.
Passenger Motor Vehicle Having Improved Side Impact Protection
A passenger motor vehicle includes a body, a side door movable between a closed position and an open position, a side door fixing element, and a body stop element. The side door fixing element is disposed on the side door and the body stop element is disposed above the side door fixing element in a vertical direction of the passenger motor vehicle when the side door is in the closed position. The side door fixing element and the body stop element have an offset relative to each other in a transverse direction of the passenger motor vehicle when the side door is in the closed position. The side door is reshapeable as a result of an impact on the side door such that the side door fixing element is displaceable against the body stop element.
Bodywork Support Structure for a Vehicle, in Particular for a Passenger Motor Car, as Well as a Vehicle
A bodywork support structure for a vehicle includes two side sills that are spaced apart in a transverse direction where the two side sills have a reinforcing element that is disposed in a hollow space. A floor is disposed between the two side sills and connected to the two side sills and an energy store for storing electrical energy and/or a fuel for powering the vehicle is disposed under the floor. The reinforcing element is formed as a corner reinforcement disposed in a corner area where the corner reinforcement has a first connection area that is attached to an external wall, a second connection area that is attached to a lower flange, and a wall area that connects the first and second connection areas with each other across the corner. An open space is formed between the corner reinforcement and an internal wall in the transverse direction of the vehicle.
BATTERY PACK AND VEHICLE INCLUDING SAME
A battery pack according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes at least one battery cell including a vent portion configured to force gas out; and a pack case in which the at least one battery cell is accommodated such that the vent portion faces a lower side of the battery pack. The vent portion is exposed from the battery pack.
Tracked vehicle
A vehicle is disclosed that includes various portions for carrying a rider and operation of the vehicle. The vehicle may be configured for operation of more than one surface or surface type. The vehicle has a selected suspension assembly for operation of various surface types.

Vehicle structure and method for strengthening vehicle steel plate
A hardened portion in a vehicle structure has an almost hemispherical shape around a lower surface side of a bottom wall rear portion in a vehicle upper-lower direction, the lower surface side serving as a center of a curvature. As the hardened portion is formed, a direction of tensile stress generated in the hardened portion is a radial direction in which the center of the curvature serves as a center side. Thus, occurrence of tensile stress in directions opposite to each other by which a specific part within the hardened portion is pulled apart in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction of the bottom wall rear portion is inhibited.
