Disclosed is an apparatus for restricting movement between a first structural member and a second structural member. The apparatus includes a hook block welded in position to the first structural member as well as a plate fastened to the second structural member with fasteners. The apparatus also includes a least one knuckle, wherein, the knuckle is pre-welded to the plate and overlaps and engages the hook block restricting movement of the first structural member relative to the second structural member.

A vehicle shown herein is a side by side powersports vehicle having a utility bed recessed in the rear body portion below an upper surface, the utility bed forming a stepped portion relative to the rear body portion and having a maximum lateral width greater than a diameter of at least one of the wheels, and a minimum width less than a diameter of at least one of the wheels, whereby a spare wheel may be stored on the stepped portion of the utility bed. As shown herein, the utility bed is defined as a removable tub, which can be removed from the rear body portion. The utility bed has defined troughs in a floor thereof angled rearwardly wherein the utility bed has drains which drain away from any heat source of the vehicle. The seats of the vehicle allow longitudinal movement and tilt capability.

A chassis frame module for an electric vehicle may include: a main frame; a front frame connected to the front of the main frame; and a rear frame connected to the rear of the main frame. The front frame may include: a first front frame disposed at the front of the main frame; a second front frame extending from the first front frame toward the main frame; and a front joint part configured to connect the main frame and the second front frame.

A vehicle body includes a floor assembly having a center floor and a rear floor, a pair of side structures connected to both sides of the floor assembly, and a pair of side sills connected to both side edges of the floor assembly, wherein each side sill includes an inner side sill facing an interior of the vehicle body, an outer side sill facing an exterior of the vehicle body, and first and second side sill reinforcements disposed between the inner side sill and the outer side sill, and wherein a rear end portion of the first side sill reinforcement overlaps a front end portion of the second side sill reinforcement.

A subframe assembly adapted to receive and secure an engine or motor in a vehicle, the subframe assembly including: a crossmember; an arm member coupled to each end of the crossmember; and a corner member coupled to each arm member adjacent to a corresponding intersection with the crossmember, wherein each corner member includes an upwardly protruding shelf structure defining a plurality of threaded holes adapted to receive a plurality of attachment bolts for securing a corresponding engine mount or motor mount to the subframe assembly. Each corner member includes a horizontal arm disposed along an upper surface of the corresponding arm member and a vertical arm disposed along an outboard surface of the corresponding arm member, wherein the horizontal arm includes the upwardly protruding shelf structure.

A composite structure of a cargo body and a method of making the same are disclosed. The composite structure includes at least one anchor embedded between fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) layers. The embedded anchor includes a porous veil of nonwoven fibers in a polymer-rich matrix. Accessories may be coupled to the composite structure by anchoring mechanical fasteners into the embedded anchor.

An aerodynamic fin configured to be fixed to an outer panel of a motor vehicle, the fin comprising a core comprising a plastic material and having a first surface to be turned towards the panel so as to fix the fin to the panel, a cover comprising carbon fibre, and fixing means which fix the cover to the core, so that the cover covers the core on the opposite side with respect to the first surface, thereby hiding the core when the fin is fixed to the panel.

A thermally insulated floor for a trailer includes a layer of parallel support beams. Each support beam is oriented in a direction substantially perpendicular to a forward direction of the trailer. A substantially planar panel of thermally insulating material is disposed on and supported by the layer of parallel support beams. A substantially planar layer of extruded aluminum is disposed on and supported by the panel of thermally insulating material. The support beams, the panel of thermally insulating material, and the layer of extruded aluminum are secured together.

In an embodiment, a vehicle body structure includes a dash cross member disposed on an upper surface of a dash floor in a lateral direction of a vehicle. A lower side member is coupled to a lower side of the dash floor to face the dash cross member and coupled to a side wall of a side sill. A body mounting bracket is provided under the lower side member and coupled to a frame.

According to an embodiment, a vehicle front structure includes a front pillar and a front side member positioned forward of the front pillar and extending in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle. A side sill is connected to a lower end of the front pillar and a rear lower member connected to a rear portion of the front side member, a front portion of the side sill, and a middle portion of the front pillar.
