An embodiment vehicle rear body structure includes a partition panel coupled to a boundary point of a vehicle body intermediate portion and a vehicle body rear portion, a first mount assembly connected to the partition panel and configured to support a hydrogen tank, and a second mount assembly connected to a rear cross member provided in the vehicle body rear portion and configured to support the hydrogen tank at a position lower than the first mount assembly.

A body for a vehicle includes a first member provided at a lower portion of a front floor module extending to a front of a second member provided at a center floor module, and a third member provided at a lower portion of a rear floor module extending to a rear of the second member provided at the center floor module to form a main load path along the first, second, and third members extending from a foremost end of the vehicle to a hindmost end of the vehicle.

A vehicle base structure includes first and second structural members extending along a vehicle front-rear direction and disposed respectively at first and second sides of a vehicle base in a vehicle width direction, a battery unit disposed between the first and second structural members, and a bracket including a first wall portion fixed to a lower surface of one of the first and second structural members, a second wall portion extending inward in the vehicle width direction from an inner end portion of the first wall portion and inclined downward in a vehicle-height direction from the inner end portion of the first wall portion, and a third wall portion extending inward in the vehicle width direction from an inner end portion of the second wall portion inward in the vehicle width direction and being fixed to a lower surface of a battery case.

A vehicle body forming structure is provided. The vehicle body forming structure includes a plurality of linear members each including a bent portion in at least a portion thereof, wherein the plurality of linear members overlap each other in at least a partial section to form overlapping extending portions extending in a same direction, and a fastening member configured to fasten the overlapping extending portions to form a vehicle body frame.

A composite mat for a vehicle is provided. The composite mat includes a composite material assembled to an upper surface of a floor module at a lower portion of a vehicle body, the composite material being configured by stacking a glass fiber mat and a polyurethane resin layer on a surface of a honeycomb layer, and a woven fabric layer stacked on the composite material such that the woven fabric layer is integrated with the composite material.

An electric vehicle includes a body structure, a forward sub-frame, and a battery pack. The body structure includes first and second side rails. The forward sub-frame includes first and second side supports each having and extending longitudinally between forward and rearward end portions. The first and second side supports are located forward of, and substantially parallel to, the first and second side rails. The battery pack includes a support structure disposed beneath, and engaged to, the body structure between the first and second side rails. The support structure has a plurality of longitudinal components spaced laterally apart from one-another, and disposed parallel to the opposite first and second side rails. The rearward end portions of the first and second side supports are proximate to respective first and second longitudinal components of the plurality of longitudinal components.

This disclosure relates to a motor vehicle floor assembly with recesses for electrical lines and electrical modules, and a corresponding method. An example assembly includes a floor with a surface, a channel at a first depth relative to the surface, and a pocket at a second depth relative to the surface. The second depth is greater than the first depth.

A vehicle seat is detachably attached to a floor of a vehicle. The vehicle seat includes a seat body configured to support an occupant and a lock mechanism disposed below the seat body and detachably attached to a first striker provided on the floor. The lock mechanism includes a first lock part that has a first lock groove configured to be engaged with the first striker and a cover configured to be displaced between an exposing position to expose the first lock groove and a covering position to cover at least a part of the first lock groove.

A mounting system for securing a base plate of an access device within a vehicle includes a plurality of lateral clamping beams configured for attachment to a tracked floor in an orientation in which each of the plurality of lateral clamping beams lies across a plurality of tracks in the tracked floor. The plurality of lateral clamping beams includes a front lateral clamping beam adapted to overlie a front edge of the base plate, and a rear lateral clamping beam adapted to overlie a rear edge of the base plate.
