This disclosure details exemplary pillar-to-box rail-to-cab back structural joints for unibody vehicles. An exemplary structural joint of a unibody vehicle may include a pillar assembly and a box rail assembly that intersects the pillar assembly and extends continuously up to a door opening flange of the pillar assembly. The pillar assembly and box rail assembly may establish a beam-to-beam connection of the structural joint. A cab back assembly may be secured relative to the pillar assembly and the box rail assembly to establish a third portion of the structural joint. Various spot welds may be provided for joining the various components of the structural joint.

A body structure of a vehicle includes: a first panel and a second panel forming a closed cross-sectional portion; a partition panel; a first reinforcement body disposed between the first panel and the partition panel, and includes a first panel joint portion joined to the first panel, and a first flange portion joined to the partition panel; and a second reinforcement body which is disposed between the second panel and the partition panel, and includes a second panel joint portion joined to the second panel, and a second flange portion joined to the partition panel. A joint portion includes a rigid coupling portion in which the first panel and the first panel joint portion are coupled while being in contact with each other, and a flexible coupling portion in which the partition panel and the first flange portion are coupled to each other while interposing a damping member therebetween.

An embodiment vehicle truss member includes a member body having a pipe shape having an open end and an end patch coupled to the open end of the member body to close the open end of the member body, the end patch including a coupling part configured to be selectively coupled to an external element.

Provided is a vehicle body side structure to reduce a center pillar in weight and suitably prevent deformation of the center pillar and separation of a stiffener from a roof side rail due to a side collision load. The vehicle body side structure includes a stiffener having a stiffener upper part provided above a central part in a height direction of a center pillar. The upper end of the stiffener upper part is joined to a roof side rail from an outer side in the vehicle width direction. The stiffener upper part has a trough extending in the vertical direction of the vehicle and recessed inward in the vehicle width direction. The trough 81d is recessed deeper as coming closer to a central part in the vertical direction of the stiffener upper part from the upper end and a lower end of the stiffener upper part.

A vehicle body joint structure includes a lower panel disposed on a side surface of a floor assembly, an upper panel extending upward from the lower panel and connected to a roof assembly for a roof of a vehicle body, and a connection pipe extending vertically to connect the floor assembly to the roof assembly, disposed to face the upper panel, and coupled to the upper panel.

A vehicle body joint structure is disclosed. The vehicle body joint is configured such that elements configured to connect pillars of a vehicle body can be easily shared by various kinds and designs of vehicles, thereby being capable of securing assemblability of elements including the pillars while achieving enhancement in strength and rigidity.

A chassis platform module for an electric vehicle may include: a main frame having a battery mounted thereon; and a front wheel-side support frame unit connected to a front of the main frame. The front wheel-side support frame unit may include: a pair of first support frames disposed in a width direction of a vehicle, and each having a first connection groove formed at a front end thereof; a pair of second support frames disposed at a front of the pair of first support frames, respectively, and each having a second connection groove formed at a rear end thereof; a connection frame having connection protrusions inserted into the first and second connection grooves, respectively; an adhesive part adhered to the inner circumferential surfaces of the first and second connection grooves; and a fastening member coupled to each of the connection protrusions through each of the first and second support frames.

A trailer frame including an axle section having two spaced longitudinal frame members connected by at least one cross member, the longitudinal frame members each having a first end and a second end; a rear section attachable to the axle section; and a dimple assemble joining the axle section to the rear section, the dimple assembly including a dimple pattern formed on each frame member of the axle assembly, the dimple pattern on the axle assembly defining a first dimple axis, and a dimple pattern formed on one end of the rear section and nestable within the dimple pattern formed on the axle section, the dimple pattern on the rear section defining a second dimple axis offset relative to the first dimple axis to create a camber between the axle section and the rear section when the first dimple is nested within the second dimple pattern.

A cover module of a charging port for an electric vehicle includes a panel coupling body comprising a charging housing fixed to an inner panel of a vehicle body of the electric vehicle to form a mounting hole, and a side outer coupled to face the inner panel fixed to the charging housing so that the mounting hole formed by the charging housing and the inner panel is maintained, and a cover main body formed in a shape corresponding to the mounting hole, provided with a plurality of hooks along an edge thereof to cover the mounting hole, and coupled to the panel coupling body by the hooks.

A structural joint for a pickup truck, according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a C-pillar, a gusset bracket, a cab back bracket, and a box panel. The C-pillar, gusset bracket, cab back bracket, and box panel are directly welded to each other to provide an assembly having a box section.
