To sufficiently improve the distortion stiffness of a vehicle body with minimized influence on comfort in an occupant space. A vehicle-body structure includes a floor panel constituting a floor of an occupant space including a seat on which a passenger sits, and a center frame disposed to be higher than and away from the floor panel at a vehicle-width-direction central portion of the occupant space and extending in a vehicle front-rear direction. The center frame is arranged at a downward tilt toward the vehicle rear side. A rear portion of the center frame is connected to the floor panel.

To increase an effect of absorbing an impact load from a vehicle front side. A vehicle-body structure includes a left-side suspension support member supporting a front suspension, a center frame disposed higher than and away from a floor panel at a vehicle-width-direction central portion of an occupant space and extending in a vehicle front-rear direction, a left-side front frame connected to a front portion of the center frame and extending to the left-side suspension support member, a right-side front frame connected to the front portion of the center frame and extending to a right-side suspension support member, and a connection member that connects the floor panel and at least one of a rear portion of the left-side front frame, a rear portion of the right-side front frame, and the front portion of the center frame.

This disclosure details integrated thermal management systems for thermally managing electrified vehicle components. Exemplary integrated thermal management systems may include a thermal module assembly that may be integrated into a front end structure of a flexible modular platform of the electrified vehicle. The integrated thermal management systems may be controlled in a plurality of distinct thermal control modes for thermal managing various subcomponents and for addressing various vehicle auxiliary loads (e.g., passenger cabin heating loads, passenger cabin cooling loads, etc.).

A lower vehicle body structure of the vehicle may include a side member extending in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle, disposed on both sides in a width direction of the vehicle and having a closed cross-section formed therein; a connecting member connected to the side member at a front or a rear based on front and rear directions of the vehicle and having a closed cross-section formed therein; and at least one pipe unit provided inside in the longitudinal direction of the side member or the connecting member to inflow a working fluid therein.

A modular vehicle is generally presented where the modular vehicle is generally configured to be rearranged into different driving, passenger, and storage configurations using a plurality of different modules that interface with a powered chassis. The vehicle may include a plurality of modules arranged on the powered chassis. The modules may vary in size and shape and may be configured to interface with the chassis. The powered chassis is designed to include all power and drivetrain components as well as the wheel connections and wheels, all within a generally flat platform that is intended to support the vehicle modules.
