An exemplary multi-dimensional load structure may include a base panel having a tiered structure with an upper layer, a lower layer, and at least one interior layer therebetween. The load structure may also have a glass layer applied to at least surfaces of each of the upper layer, the lower layer, and the at least one interior layer not in contact with an adjacent layer. The load structure may further have a coating applied to the exterior of the glass layer. The at least one interior layer may be configured to withstand a greater compressive force than the upper layer and the lower layer and/or the upper layer and the lower layer may be lighter than the at least one interior layer.

An automotive vehicle has a skateboard platform and a vehicle body that is attached to the skateboard platform or chassis. The sides of the vehicle body are formed using a structural frame, made up of multiple structural sub-frames that give structural integrity to the sides of the vehicle body and to which body panels are attached. Each structural sub-frame is directly attached to the skateboard platform or chassis.

A driver's seat peripheral structure includes a driver's seat provided upward from a power unit compartment at a front portion of a vehicle, a front floor panel that makes up a floor face of the driver's seat and that is provided with an opening having a size that enables an electronic unit in the power unit compartment to be extracted, and a lid member that is attached to the front floor panel to close the opening and to which a reinforcing member is integrally attached.

A part of a floor panel of a cabin is formed by a main wall portion, and the main wall portion is located on the vehicle upper side and vehicle front side of a center floor panel located to overlap an electronic device when viewed in the vehicle vertical direction. A vehicle seat is supported from the vehicle lower side by a base portion that extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction. A leg portion is extended downward from a vehicle-front-side portion of the base portion, and the leg portion is supported on the main wall portion. A partition frame is located on the vehicle rear side of the vehicle seat, and a vehicle-rear-side portion of the base portion is supported by the partition frame.

A vehicle front section structure including left and right front side frames, and left and right front side members. The left and right front side frames extend along a vehicle front-rear direction at respective sides in a vehicle width direction with respect to the power unit. A lower kick section sloping with a downward gradient on progression toward a vehicle rear side is formed at a rear section of each of the front side frames. The left and right front side members extend along the vehicle front-rear direction at a vehicle upper side of the left and right front side frames, are supported by the left and right front side frames, and configure part of a vehicle body. An upper kick section sloping with a downward gradient on progression toward the vehicle rear side is formed at a rear section of each of the front side members.
