A vehicle storage compartment assembly has a bottom wall, a first and second upright walls and a top wall. The first upright wall, the second upright wall and the top wall are each formed with a breakaway structure. A first section is defined on a first side and a second section is defined on a second side of the breakaway structure. The bottom wall extends from the first section to the second section in the absence of the breakaway structure. The first section, the second section and the bottom wall define a storage space. The breakaway structure is configured such that in response to one of the first section and the second section receiving an impacting force the breakaway structure breaks separating the first section from the second section along the first upright wall, the second upright wall and the top wall.

A knee protection structure for a vehicle may include a bracket disposed on a vehicle body structure, and a lower crash pad panel disposed to be supported by the bracket so that a knee of a passenger hits the lower crash pad panel in the event of a collision, in which the lower crash pad panel may include a uni-directional continuous-fiber composite material, continuous fibers may be arranged in a given direction, inserted into at least a predetermined region of the entire region thereof, and a multi-directional continuous-fiber composite material, in which continuous fibers may be arranged in multiple directions, inserted into the remaining region.

An airbag chute-integrated crash pad assembly includes: a main core that includes a door portion expanding when an airbag expands, and a cover portion mounted on a dash board. In particular, the main core is formed with a reinforcement portion extending downward from a lower surface of the cover portion, and the door portion and the cover portion are separated by a hinge groove that is formed in a lower surface of the main core and forms an expansion line. The reinforcement portion is combined with an airbag accommodation body that accommodates a passenger airbag (PAB). Thus, process optimization can be realized by omitting a process of machining a score and fusing a PAB chute, and also a problem of damage to the PAB chute can be solved.

The shock absorber includes: a base portion fixed to the attachment target; a shock absorbing portion having flexibility and attached to the base portion so as to be reversibly switchable between a housed state in which the shock absorbing portion is retracted toward the base portion and a protruding state in which the shock absorbing portion protrudes from the base portion; and a drive unit driving the shock absorbing portion to reversibly switch between the housed state and the protruding state. The drive unit, when operating the shock absorbing portion, at least switches the shock absorbing portion from the housed state to the protruding state.

A cockpit module according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a crash pad lower member connected to an air conditioning unit, a crash pad upper member coupled to the crash pad lower member, and a first air conditioning duct formed integrally with the crash pad lower member, wherein the crash pad lower member may a duct groove formed by being recessed downwards and creating the first air conditioning duct with a first duct cover being placed on the top of the duct groove, remaining the upper part of the first air conditioning duct as an empty space to accommodate a tray formed by being recessed downwards from the crash pad upper member.

A cockpit module for a vehicle is provided. The cockpit module includes a crash pad including an assembling hole, a tray including an internal space opened upward, the tray being assembled to the assembling hole, the internal space in communication with assembling hole, and a cover rotatably connected to the tray. In a closed position, the cover covers the internal space as a rotary shaft is rotatably connected to a protruding portion directed toward an inside of an occupant compartment of the tray, and in a deployed position, the cover opens the internal space by being moved upward along the rotary shaft. The cover includes a structure extending toward the inside of the occupant compartment, and the structure is used as a table at the deployed position.
