An automotive structural member includes: a hollow member having plane portions; and an FRP member joined to at least one section of the plane portions, wherein: the FRP member is joined to a region of at least 0.1L1 to 0.9L1 of a length L1 in a longitudinal direction of the hollow member; the plane portion is formed with an FRP joint portion being a portion to which the FRP member is joined and an FRP non-joint portion being a portion to which the FRP member is not joined, in the region of 0.1L1 to 0.9L1; a total width of the FRP joint portion is 8 to 60% of a full width of the plane portion, in the plane portion; and a flexural rigidity of the FRP member in the FRP joint portion is 30 times or more a flexural rigidity of the plane portion excluding the FRP member in the plane portion.

Front vehicle-body structure for vehicle

A front vehicle-body structure is provided that is lightweight and reduces an impact load transmitted to lower limbs of an occupant. Embodiments include a transmission disposed in a vehicle front portion, a dash lower panel dividing an inside from an outside of a vehicle cabin in a vehicle rear of the transmission, and an organ type accelerator pedal disposed on a vehicle-width-direction inner side of the dash lower panel opposed to the transmission. The dash lower panel includes a panel rear portion in which the accelerator pedal is arranged, a panel front portion extending from the panel rear portion to a vehicle front upper side, and a fragile portion extending in a vehicle width direction along a boundary between the panel rear portion and the panel front portion, which is fragile compared to the panel rear portion and the panel front portion.

Electric vehicle having low-voltage component in rear portion of vehicle body

An electric vehicle may include a body; a low-voltage component disposed in a rear portion of the body; and at least one coupling member securing the low-voltage component to a plurality of securing portions of the body. The plurality of securing portions may include at least one first securing portion located forward of the low-voltage component in a vehicle front-rear direction and at least one second securing portion located rearward of the low-voltage component in the vehicle front-rear direction. A center of the at least one first securing portion and a center of the at least one second securing portion are located at different positions from each other in a vehicle vertical direction.

Vehicle underbelly structure

A panel has a first edge portion defining a first end of the panel, and a second edge portion defining a second end of the panel. The length of the panel is predetermined for the panel to reach across a vehicle chassis frame in an installed position in which the first edge portion rests on a side beam and the second edge portion rests on an opposite side beam. The panel further has a longitudinal rib. A first end of the rib is located adjacent to, and inboard of, the first edge portion. A second end of the rib is located adjacent to, and inboard of, the second edge portion.
