Provided is a dashboard panel vehicle-body structure with enhanced load path connectivity, the structure including a transverse member configured in such a manner that a first end portion thereof overlaps at least one portion of a front pillar of a vehicle and extends in a widthwise direction of the vehicle up to a dashboard panel, wherein the transverse member is configured to extend up to an outer edge of the front pillar.

A cowl cover apparatus includes a cowl cover that covers a cowl portion, a vertical wall body detachably attached to the cowl cover and being positioned while rising with respect to the cowl cover in a state of being attached thereto. The vertical wall body includes an insertion portion in an end portion in a vehicle width direction. The cowl cover includes a regulation portion into which the insertion portion is partly inserted in the vehicle width direction. The insertion portion is formed to be elastically deformable in the vehicle width direction due to a reaction force from the cowl cover against a load onto the vertical wall body in a predetermined direction intersecting the vehicle width direction.

A vehicle includes: a hood; a cowl top placed rearward of the hood; a body structure disposed below the hood and the cowl top; and a shock absorber that is disposed between the hood and the body structure and is fixed to the body structure. At least one of the hood and the cowl top has a support portion facing a side surface of the shock absorber.

A vehicle-body front structure includes a partition wall portion which demarcates a vehicle cabin inside space, a motor arrangement portion which is formed by causing a part of the partition wall portion to bulge to an inside of a vehicle cabin, a panel reinforcement that is provided to a surface of the partition wall portion on the inside of the vehicle cabin and has a portion which extends in a vehicle width direction so as to surround at least a part of a periphery of the motor arrangement portion, and a central reinforcement which is provided to the surface of the partition wall portion on the inside of the vehicle cabin and extends from an intermediate portion of the panel reinforcement in the vehicle width direction to vehicle rear.

A vehicle-body front structure includes a partition wall portion which is provided to extend in a vehicle width direction in a vehicle front portion, a motor arrangement portion which is formed by causing a part of the partition wall portion to bulge to an inside of a vehicle cabin and in which at least a part of a traveling motor is capable of being arranged, and a reinforcement member which extends from the motor arrangement portion to vehicle rear. A rear portion of the reinforcement member is mounted on a inside-unit member which is provided in the battery unit.

A vehicle-body front structure includes a partition wall portion which demarcates a vehicle cabin inside space, a motor arrangement portion which is formed by causing a part of the partition wall portion to bulge to an inside of a vehicle cabin and in which at least a part of a traveling motor is capable of being arranged, and a reinforcement member which extends from an upper portion of the motor arrangement portion to vehicle rear and is inclined to be positioned lower toward the vehicle rear. A rear portion of the reinforcement member is mounted on a floor panel and a lid body of a battery unit.

A vehicle-front body structure includes a partition wall portion which demarcates a vehicle cabin inside space, a motor arrangement portion which is formed by causing a part of the partition wall portion to bulge to an inside of a vehicle cabin and in which at least a part of a traveling motor is capable of being arranged, a cross member which is fixed to a floor panel on a vehicle rear side of the motor arrangement portion and extends in a vehicle width direction, and a reinforcement member which couples the motor arrangement portion and the cross member together.
