A vehicle has a vehicle body provided with a pair of rockers, the rockers each being provided on one side of a floor panel in a right-left direction and on another side of the floor panel in the right-left direction. The vehicle has a battery pack that is disposed below the floor panel, and that stores electric power to be supplied to a traveling motor. The vehicle has a pair of fixing members, the fixing members each being disposed on one side of the battery pack in the right-left direction and another side of the battery pack in the right-left direction, that is configured to fix the battery pack to the rockers. The vehicle has an elastic member disposed between the battery pack and the fixing members. The elastic member is disposed in a state compressed by the battery pack and the fixing members.

A vehicle includes a vehicle body provided with each of a pair of rockers on each side of a floor panel in a right-left direction, a battery pack that stores electric power to be supplied to a traction motor, and a pair of fixing members that fixes the battery pack to the rockers. The battery pack and the fixing members are joined by a plurality of adhesion members. The adhesion members are intermittently laid out along a vehicle length direction of the vehicle.

A method of making a roof assembly includes bringing first and second adhesive beads into contact with a roof panel and a roof stiffener to thereby define a chamber. The first adhesive bead forms a continuous perimeter around a first vacuum aperture in the roof stiffener to thereby define a first vacuum chamber. The second adhesive bead defines a second continuous perimeter around a second vacuum aperture in the roof stiffener to thereby define a second vacuum chamber. A vacuum is created in each of the first and second vacuum chambers. An outer periphery of each of the first and second adhesive beads is in direct fluid communication with the surrounding atmosphere through a perimeter opening of the chamber.

A chassis platform module for an electric vehicle may include: a frame part having a battery module coupled thereto, and including a plurality of members assembled to each other; a first support part extending from one side of the frame part in a longitudinal direction thereof, having a front wheel chassis module mounted thereon, and including a connection member assembled to the frame part; a second support part extending from another side of the frame part in the longitudinal direction thereof, and having a rear wheel chassis module mounted thereon; and a connector part including a plurality of connector members assembled between the plurality of members of the frame part or assembled to the frame part and the first support part so as to connect the plurality of members to the connection member.

There is provided a double-skin structure in which it is possible to obtain an aesthetic improvement in addition to restricting an increase in the number of manufacturing steps. The structure includes a connection portion connecting together an end portion of a first projection portion of a first mold member and an end portion of a second projection portion of a second mold member; a cover plate that is provided between the first mold member and the second mold member, and that blocks an upper end side of a recessed portion bounded by a first rib, a second rib, the first projection portion, and the second projection portion; and a bonding portion that bonds the cover plate to the first mold member, and the cover plate to the second mold member.

A side sill rigidity reinforcement structure of a vehicle may include an external side sill external member which includes an upper support portion and a lower support portion each having a section convexly formed outwardly from a vehicle and mounted vertically, is formed to connect the upper support portion and the lower support portion; an internal side sill external member which is mounted inside any one of the upper support portion and the lower support portion; a side sill external panel which is bonded outside the external side sill external member; and a side sill internal panel which has an upper portion and a lower portion bonded to the side sill external panel.

A vehicle side outer structure includes a master side outer panel having a front door opening and a rear door opening, and a quarter garnish panel joined to a rear edge of the master side outer panel, wherein the quarter garnish panel is configured to be changeable in response to a partial design change of a vehicle.

The invention relates to an adhesive tape, comprising at least one layer of a first, heat-curable adhesive material and, on one of the surfaces of the heat-curable adhesive material layer, a layer of a second, pressure-sensitive adhesive material, characterized in that the second, pressure-sensitive adhesive material is based on one or more unvulcanized rubbers having a saturated carbon chain of the polymethylene type.

Methods produce a folded connection, sealed by means of an adhesive composition and by means of first and second sheetlike elements, wherein a flange of the first sheetlike element, having a first surface (11) and a second surface (12), is taken back over a flange of the second sheetlike element. The methods apply at least one layer of an adhesive composition to the flange of the first sheetlike element, bead the flange of the first sheetlike element around the flange of the second sheetlike element, and apply the adhesive composition to both the first and second surfaces of the flange of the first sheetlike element.

In an upper vehicle-body structure including: a roof side rail disposed at an upper and vehicle-width-direction outer side portion of the vehicle and including a closed cross-section extending in a vehicle front-rear direction; a pillar extending downward from an intermediate portion in the vehicle front-rear direction of the roof side rail; and a roof rail reinforcement disposed inside the intermediate portion in the vehicle front-rear direction of the roof side rail and extending in the front-rear direction, the roof rail reinforcement including front and rear ends bent toward a vehicle-width-direction outer side, the roof rail reinforcement being configured to partition a space inside the intermediate portion of the roof side rail in the vehicle front-rear direction and a vehicle width direction, the roof side rail includes a roof rail outer and a roof rail inner defining, jointly with the roof rail outer, a closed cross-section, the pillar includes a pillar outer and a pillar inner defining, jointly with the pillar outer, a closed cross-section extending in an up-down direction, and the roof rail reinforcement is at least fixed to the roof rail outer, the roof rail inner, and the pillar inner.
