A vehicle body includes a plurality of shock absorber housings each covering and supporting a respective shock absorber that is configured to be connected to a respective wheel of a vehicle, a pillar member having a first end connected to one of the shock absorber housings to form a corner, wherein the pillar member connects two of the plurality of shock absorber housings to form a portion of a cabin of the vehicle, wherein the two of the plurality of shock absorber housings are disposed at a side of the vehicle at a front portion and a rear portion of the vehicle, and a supporting member disposed at the corner of the shock absorber housing, an upper end of the supporting member being coupled to the pillar member and a lower end of the supporting member being coupled to the shock absorber housing.

The present invention provides a pillar member of a vehicle, which is characterized by comprising: a pillar main body portion; and a connecting and joining portion provided on both ends of the pillar main body portion and coupled to a vehicle body. The pillar main body portion and the connecting and joining portion are consecutively formed. The connecting and joining portion includes: a first connecting and joining portion provided on one side of the pillar main body portion; and a second connecting and joining portion provided on the other side of the pillar main body portion so as to face the first connecting and joining portion. The pillar main body portion is consecutively formed through a roll forming technique in a region between the first connecting and joining portion and the second connecting and joining portion, and has an odd number of closed cross section portions formed therein.

A scrum type side sill includes: a side sill inner located on a side surface of a center floor, wherein the center floor forms a bottom of a vehicle body; a side sill outer coupled to the side sill inner and configured to form a side sill inner space; and a plurality of scrum members provided in the side sill inner space in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

An embodiment structure includes an outer panel of a side sill, an outer reinforcement member of a rear portion of the side sill coupled to an outer side of the outer panel of the side sill, an inner panel of the rear portion of the side sill coupled to an inner side of the outer panel of the side sill, and an inner reinforcement member of the rear portion of the side sill coupled to an outer side of the inner panel of the rear portion of the side sill and aligned with the outer reinforcement member of the rear portion of the side sill so that a portion of the inner reinforcement member of the rear portion of the side sill is connected to the outer reinforcement member of the rear portion of the side sill.

A connection structure of an electric vehicle includes a cross member provided in a width direction of a vehicle body, a side member provided in a vehicle body length direction, and a joint member inserted into the cross member and connected to the side member. The joint member includes an insert portion inserted into the cross member, and a clamping portion connected to the side member.

A battery mounting structure having an enhanced rigidity against an impact load applied from the side is provided. Battery modules are juxtaposed to form arrays of the battery pack in a battery pack and the battery pack is disposed between the frame members. A load transmission member is disposed in a clearance between the battery modules adjacent to each other in a width direction of the vehicle. The load transmission member is crushed in the width direction by an impact load applied from the side of the vehicle to absorb collision energy.

A vehicle includes a vehicle frame having a first frame rail and a second frame rail spaced from each other. The vehicle frame includes a cross-member extending from the first frame rail to the second frame rail. A battery enclosure extends from the first frame rail to the second frame rail. The battery enclosure includes a first side member and a second side member. The first side member is connected to and deformable relative to the first frame rail. The second side member is connected to and deformable relative to the second frame rail. The battery enclosure includes a reinforcement connected to the first side member, the second side member, and the cross-member.

A vehicle body frame includes: side frames that have at least inner walls that are disposed at vehicle transverse direction inner sides and upper walls that are disposed at vehicle body vertical direction upper sides, and that are formed as closed cross-sectional structures, and that extend in a vehicle body longitudinal direction, and that are fastened and fixed to under members that are disposed at a vehicle body lower side of a floor panel; and an upper frame that is disposed further toward a vehicle transverse direction inner side than the inner walls and at a height that is lower than the upper walls, and at which an installed object is installed.

A motor vehicle body includes a side sill and a pillar arranged on the side sill, which has a cross section with a first side and a following second side in a vehicle longitudinal direction. A cross member is attached to the side sill. A sill-side end section of the cross member includes a side wall following a first side wall of the end section in the vehicle longitudinal direction. The distance of the first side wall in the vehicle longitudinal direction towards the second side of the cross section of the pillar decreases in a vehicle transverse direction towards the side sill at least locally in regions. An upper cover wall is connected to a connection section of the cross member. The distance of the upper cover wall decreases in a vehicle vertical direction towards the pillar in the vehicle transverse direction at least locally in regions.

A vehicle-body structure of a vehicle comprises a front side door provided so as to open and close an opening portion for entrance which is formed by a vehicle-body frame member. The front side door comprises a door panel portion and reinforcement portions provided at a peripheral part of the door panel portion such that at least part of the reinforcement portions overlaps with the vehicle-body frame member in a vehicle side view, the reinforcement portions being configured to reinforce the door panel portion such that when a collision load is inputted to the front side door in a vehicle side collision, a connection state of the door panel portion and the vehicle-body frame member is maintained.
