A vehicle for transporting passengers include a floor board on which the passengers ride. The vehicle further includes a passenger distribution detection device that detects a passenger distribution that is a distribution of the passengers on the floor board. The vehicle further includes a control device that executes a passenger guidance control that guides the passengers on the floor board such that the passenger distribution approaches a target passenger distribution to increase a stability of the vehicle.

A vehicle includes a floor and an occupant seating area above the floor. An airbag is fixed to the floor and is inflatable upwardly from the floor to an inflated position. At least a portion of the airbag in the inflated position extends endlessly around the occupant seating area.

A vehicle load-bearing structure includes a cell made of composite materials and composed of a plurality of components joined to each other by at least one joining system to form a single structure; the cell is made up of a number n of components between 3 and 8, that is 3<n<8.

The present disclosure relates to a shift bracket that is coupled to a top plate of a cover panel for covering a floor tunnel and to which a shift lever unit is attached on an upper side. The shift bracket includes: a base plate to which the shift lever unit is attached; and a front leg portion and a rear leg portion that are coupled to the base plate and the top plate of the cover panel and hold the base plate with a space being provided upward in a vehicle vertical direction from the top plate. An ECU is disposed in the space between the top plate of the cover panel and the base plate.

An energy-store floor assembly for an electrically drivable passenger car, the energy-store floor assembly having a floor assembly, on the bottom side of which an energy storage device of an electric drive of the passenger car is fixed. Lateral side receptacles, in the region of which a separate fastening point is located to which the energy storage device can be fastened, are positioned on the floor assembly. A modular system for manufacturing such an energy-store floor assembly is provided.

A modular vehicle system includes a cabin module, front end module, and rear end module. The cabin module includes a floor structure of the vehicle and has a front end and a rear end, and a plurality of panels extending upwardly from the floor structure. The front end module is configured to include the front wheels of the vehicle. The rear end module is configured to include rear wheels of the vehicle. The front end module is configured to securely attach to the front end of the cabin module, and the rear end module is configured to securely attach to the rear end of the cabin module. Various types of modules can be constructed and assembled to define various types of vehicles. The floor structure of the cabin module may include an electric vehicle battery, and different cabin modules may have different battery types enabling different vehicle ranges.

Provided are a vehicle body and a vehicle. The vehicle body includes: two A pillars; a front impact beam; two front longitudinal beams having front ends connected to the front impact beam, and each of the front longitudinal beams being connected to the A-pillar at the same side therewith by means of a plurality of force transmission paths; a dash panel having lower portion provided with a dash centre aisle and connected to the two A-pillars; an dash upper cross member provided at an upper portion of the dash panel; a dash lower vertical member having an upper end connected to the dash upper cross member and a lower end extending to the dash centre aisle; and two front floor longitudinal beams.

Provided are a vehicle body and a vehicle. The vehicle body includes: a front longitudinal beam; a first bracket; an upper side beam having a front lower end connected to an outer end of the first bracket; a front floor longitudinal beam having a front end connected to a rear end of the front longitudinal beam and having a linear configuration; a rocker panel having a front end connected to the rear end of the front longitudinal beam; and a rear floor longitudinal beam connected to a rear end of the front floor longitudinal beam and a rear end of the rocker panel to make the front floor longitudinal beam, the rocker panel, and the rear floor longitudinal beam form a closed-loop force transmission structure.

A vehicle assembly method includes assembling a chassis platform, mounting a floor pan to the platform, mounting a modular interior to the floor pan, assembling a body top-hat separate from the platform and the floor pan, and mounting the body top-hat to the platform and the floor pan after mounting the modular interior to the floor pan.

The invention is for a system that supports and stabilizes a suspended vehicle, allowing it to be accessed and/or repaired as desired by a user. The system includes a first pair of braces that are installed parallel to the longitudinal axis of a corresponding vehicle body with the floorboard-frame unit removed. The system includes a second pair of braces positioned on a vehicle floorboard-frame unit, including brackets that can be used to align the alignments with the frame. At least one first brace includes an alignment element that extends in a downward direction towards the second pair of braces. The braces therefore each include a pair of longitudinally extending members in opposed relationship with each other, supporting the vehicle body and floorboard-frame unit, respectively.
