A heavy-duty vehicle frame rail clamp on mounting bracket includes a first member, a second member, a third member, and at least one fastener. The third member is configured to contact the first member and the second member. The at least one fastener is applied to the third member. Upon a fastening thereof, the at least one fastener is configured to generate a clamping force on the first member and on the second member. The first member and the second member have a same shape.

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 side sill structure for a vehicle includes: a side sill having a cavity; a side sill reinforcement which is received in the cavity of the side sill; and a battery mounting pipe which is joined to the side sill reinforcement, wherein the side sill reinforcement is joined to the side sill as a mounting bolt is fastened to the battery mounting pipe.

A cowl crossbar mounting structure may include a front bracket including a matching surface that matches a cowl crossbar, a front pillar internal lower reinforcement including a lower reinforcement connection portion inclined to be combined with a front side internal panel, and a guide bracket provided between the front bracket and the front pillar internal lower reinforcement, wherein the guide bracket includes a bolt guide portion guiding a connection bolt connecting the cowl crossbar and formed in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle body.

A cross car beam assembly for use with a vehicle includes first and second beam sections that are connected together by a tapered joint. The tapered joint includes an engagement structure formed on the first beam section, and a socket formed on the second beam section that receives the engagement structure. Furthermore, the engagement structure is tapered in a first direction and a second direction different than the first direction, and the socket is also tapered in the first direction and the second direction.

The present invention relates to all terrain vehicles having at least a pair of laterally spaced apart seating surfaces.

A motor vehicle has a body with a front section, a floor structure which adjoins the front section, and a floor panel, on the two longitudinal sides of which a sill is in each case arranged. The sills run from an A pillar, adjoining the front section, of the body as far as a C pillar of the body. An inner longitudinal member is on each longitudinal side of the floor panel. A bulkhead is arranged between the front section and the floor structure. Each sill is constructed from an inner C profile and an outer C profile. The first and second profile flanges of the C profiles, arranged in an overlapping manner, are connected, in particular welded, to the inner longitudinal member.

A motor vehicle includes a floor subassembly and a storage cell subassembly. The floor subassembly is an integral part of a body of the motor vehicle. In other words, the floor subassembly is part of the body shell. The storage cells of the storage cell subassembly are disposed in the floor subassembly. The storage cells are accommodated in hollow-cylinder chambers of a multi-chamber hollow cylinder structure extending in the vertical direction of the vehicle.

A mounting adapter for a mounting and fastening system includes: a radially inward portion including a throughbore having a throughbore axis; an inboard end including an adapter inboard surface extending transversely with respect to the axis, and an inboard counterbore in the adapter inboard surface in communication with the throughbore; an outboard end including an adapter outboard surface extending transversely with respect to the axis; and a radially outward portion having a tapered outward surface that tapers in an axially inboard and radially inward direction.

A modular cross car beam assembly for use with a vehicle includes an intermediate beam section, a driver side beam section, and a passenger side beam section. Furthermore, the driver side beam section and the passenger side beam section are attachable on either side of the intermediate beam section depending on whether the vehicle is a left-hand-drive vehicle or a right-hand-drive vehicle.
