A vehicle floor assembly may include a frame and a floor panel attached to the frame via a plurality of mount fasteners, a plurality of string attachments, each welded to the frame and the floor panel to further attach the frame and the floor panel in addition to the mount fasteners and to provide additional resistance to buckling of the floor panel or the frame during a collision.

A fascia protection assembly comprising a fascia protection sheet member and a plurality of fasteners to couple the fascia protection sheet member to a vehicle. The fascia protection sheet member may be formed from a roll of material wherein a quantity of the roll is unrolled and cut to form an initial fascia protection sheet member. The cut portion can the further be trimmed to form a custom sized fascia protection sheet member. The fascia protection sheet member can be attached to the vehicle through fasteners of different types.

A vehicle underbody includes a system of connected unitized underbody components including a front quadrant system having a left front unitized underbody component and a right front unitized underbody component, a center system, and a rear quadrant system having a left rear unitized underbody component and a right rear unitized underbody component. A first rail element is loosely connected to the left front unitized underbody component and the left rear unitized underbody component, and a second rail element is loosely connected to the right front unitized underbody component and the right rear unitized underbody component.

A lower body structure of a vehicle includes: a left and right pair of left seat rails and a left and right pair of right seat rails configured to make left and right seats of a second-row seat independently slidable; a first cross member including securing portions to which the left seat rails and the right seat rails are secured; a second cross member disposed apart from the first cross member in a vehicle fore-and-aft direction; and a first coupling member that couples the first cross member and the second cross member to each other in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction. The first coupling member is located between the securing portion located on a left side of the right seat rails and the securing portion located on a right side of the left seat rails in a vehicle width direction.

A vehicle body lower structure includes a battery case, a side sill, and a case-mounting frame. The case-mounting frame has a frame main body portion and a battery case reception flange. The battery case reception flange extends to an inward side in a vehicle width direction from the frame main body portion and is joined to a lower surface of a bottom wall of the battery case. A battery support frame extending in a vehicle body forward-rearward direction and supporting a battery is fixed to the bottom wall of the battery case. A recessed portion protruding downward is provided between a joint portion with respect to the battery case reception flange and a joint portion with respect to the battery support frame in the bottom wall of the battery case.

A pick-up truck bed includes a plurality of plates longer in a longitudinal direction than in a transverse direction that are assembled together along longitudinally extending edges to a laterally adjacent one of the plates. The plates each include a plurality of supporting structures longitudinally extending along a length of the plates that support the plates on transversely extending cross-members. A left-side plate defines a left wheel housing cutout, a longitudinally extending central plate includes first and second complementary interlocking features on opposite longitudinally extending sides, and a longitudinally extending right-side plate defines a right wheel housing cutout. The left-side plate includes a first interlocking feature and the right-side plate includes a second interlocking feature that each receive one of the complementary interlocking features of the central plate.

A vehicle body lower portion structure includes: a lower frame member formed as a chamber that extends in a vehicle body longitudinal direction, having a guide portion at inner surfaces of wall portions that structure the chamber, the lower frame member being disposed at a vehicle body lower side; and a reinforcing member formed as a second chamber that extends in the vehicle body longitudinal direction, having a plurality of projections at outer surfaces of wall portions that structure the second chamber, the reinforcing member being provided within the chamber of the lower frame member in a state in which the plurality of projections are made to contact the guide portion.

Plural canister bodies supported by rocker members are disposed below a floor panel. The canister bodies are housed in a case. Lower couplers are disposed above the canister bodies. The lower couplers abut a cover member of the case. Upper couplers are disposed between the cover member and the floor panel.

A vehicle body front structure includes paired left and right front side frames extending in a vehicle front-rear direction and a crossmember that extends in a vehicle width direction and is suspended between the paired left and right front side frames. The front side frames respectively have side frame bend portions at rear portions thereof, the side frame bend portions bending inward in the vehicle width direction, and at least one of end portions of the crossmember in the vehicle width direction is connected to a corresponding one of the side frame bend portions.

A device for driving a vehicle including an engine that serves as a power source of the vehicle, and a transmission that is connected to the engine, the engine and the transmission being arranged longitudinally such that an axial direction of an output shaft of the engine accords with a front-rear direction of the vehicle includes a motor generator (MG) that serves as a power source of the vehicle, and a speed reducer that is connected to the MG. The MG and the speed reducer are arranged outside of an engine compartment that accommodates the engine. An output shaft of the speed reducer is connected to a power transmission system, which transmits power of an output shaft of the transmission to a drive shaft of a vehicle wheel, to be capable of transmitting its power to the power transmission system.
