A wet dry barrier support system for a vehicle includes a support structure portion with mounting locations for mounting suspension components of a vehicle, mounting locations for coupling to a body of the vehicle, and a barrier portion to provide an environmental barrier to separate a first area of the vehicle from a second area of a vehicle. The support structure portion may provide a stiff mounting interface between the body and the suspension components by transferring loads therebetween and may define a through-cavity configured to pass a vehicle component through the through-cavity. The barrier portion may plastically deform upon receiving an energetic input from an impact of the vehicle and may prevent the wet dry barrier support system from entering a passenger compartment during the impact.

A cockpit for a vehicle, wherein the cockpit comprises a first module with a support and a second module with a support. The support of the second module is arranged in a first direction behind the support of the first module and higher than the support of the first module, so that the support of the first module slides at least partially under the support of the second module in the first direction in a crash case with a force acting on the first module.

The present disclosure includes: a cowl member that is formed to extend in a vehicle width direction and bulges to the front from a rear side of a motor chamber; a power unit that is fixed to a right side frame in the motor chamber, has a lower portion fixed to a vehicle body, and drives the vehicle by electricity; and a protection bracket provided on an upper surface of the power unit, wherein the protection bracket is configured to abut the cowl member in the case where a frontal collision of a vehicle occurs and the power unit moves downward to the rear.

The present invention relates to a motor vehicle having a front wheel consisting of a rim with an inner sidewall and an underbody structure comprising a front longitudinal member (1), an A-pillar (3) and a connecting piece (5) between the front longitudinal member (1) and the A-pillar (3), the connecting piece (5) being located at the back of the front wheel. The vehicle is characterized in that the connecting piece (5) has a bearing element (7) with a raised section (9) projecting toward the front of the vehicle, the raised section (9) extending in the transverse direction of the vehicle.

An embodiment is directed to a contact plate configured to establish electrical bonds between battery cells in a battery module, including at least one primary conductive layer, and a set of bonding connectors that are configured to provide direct electrical bonds between the contact plate and terminals of a group of battery cells, the set of bonding connectors being configured to connect the group of battery cells in parallel with each other, wherein at least one bonding connector in the set of bonding connectors is configured with a higher fuse rating than each other bonding connector in the set of bonding connectors so as to contain arcs among the set of bonding connectors to the at least one bonding connector.

A bracket for a cooling module in a front end structure of a vehicle includes forward crash-box connection means, cooling module connection means, a rigid arm extending between the forward crash-box connection means at a forward side and the cooling module connection means at a rearward side; rear crash-box connection means; and a break-away arm extending from the rearward side of the rigid arm and the rear crash-box connection means.

A bumper reinforcement includes a bumper reinforcement body, a first extension portion, a second extension portion, and a weakened portion. The bumper reinforcement body is molded from a synthetic resin material, a length of the bumper reinforcement body extends in a vehicle width direction. The first extension portion is integrally molded with the bumper reinforcement body so as to extend from the bumper reinforcement body toward a vehicle rear side and oppose a vehicle structural member extending in the vehicle width direction from a vehicle front side. The first extension portion is provided within a range spanning from a vehicle width direction side end portion to a position at 40% of an overall vehicle width direction length of a vehicle front end section away from the vehicle width direction side end portion. The second extension portion is integrally molded with the bumper reinforcement body.

A cross car beam assembly for use with a vehicle may include a beam having first and second portions that are spaced apart from each other in a lateral direction when the cross car beam assembly is mounted in the vehicle. The cross car beam assembly further includes a safety unit connected to the first and second portions so that the safety unit extends between the first and second portions. The safety unit includes a rigid member configured to cooperate with the first and second portions to provide continuous rigid structure from the first portion to the second portion. Furthermore, the rigid member is connected to at least one of the first and second portions with at least one integral connection feature that braces the rigid member in a longitudinal direction or a lateral direction of the vehicle when the cross car beam assembly is mounted to the vehicle.

A land vehicle includes a frame structure, a plurality of wheels supported by the frame structure, and a body supported by the frame structure. The frame structure includes an operator cage that at least partially defines an operator cabin and a rear compartment positioned rearward of the operator cage in a longitudinal direction. The body includes a first sidewall arranged on one side of the vehicle and a second sidewall arranged on another side of the vehicle opposite the first sidewall.

A land vehicle includes a frame structure, a plurality of wheels, and an impact management system. The frame structure includes an operator cage that at least partially defines an operator cabin and a rear compartment positioned rearward of the operator cage in a longitudinal direction. The frame structure includes a pair of rails that each extends in the longitudinal direction from a first end arranged adjacent a pair of front wheels to a second end arranged adjacent a pair of rear wheels. The plurality of wheels are supported by the frame structure. The plurality of wheels includes the pair of front wheels and the pair of rear wheels. The pair of front wheels are positioned forward of the pair of rear wheels in the longitudinal direction.
