An embodiment vehicle body structure includes a floor panel, a dash crossmember mounted at a front edge of the floor panel, and a dash panel connected to a top edge of the dash crossmember, wherein the dash crossmember includes a cross portion extending in a width direction of a vehicle and a front portion protruding from the cross portion toward a front of the vehicle, wherein the front portion includes a horizontal wall protruding horizontally from the cross portion toward the front of the vehicle, an upper flange extending vertically upward from the horizontal wall, and a lower flange extending vertically downward from the horizontal wall, and wherein the horizontal wall, the upper flange, and the lower flange each extend in the width direction of the vehicle.

A vehicle beam extends in a vehicle width direction within an instrument panel of a vehicle to support the instrument panel. The vehicle beam includes a tubular duct body portion, a peripheral portion connected to the duct body portion, and a beam shell portion made of a resin material. The beam shell portion is divided into a plurality of beam divided bodies in a circumferential direction of the beam shell portion. Each of the beam divided bodies has a beam connection portion at a boundary with an adjacent beam divided body. The adjacent beam divided bodies are coupled by joining the adjacent beam connection portions. The adjacent beam connection portions have a pair of beam facing surfaces. One of the beam facing surfaces is formed with a beam welding rib extending along the beam facing surface. The adjacent beam connection portions are joined by welding at the beam welding rib.

A vehicle front structure includes a dash module that separates an inside and an outside of a vehicle cabin from each other, the dash module having a channel for a cooling refrigerant extending in the vehicle-width direction, and at least one heat generating device disposed in contact with or close to the dash module.

A dashboard assembly for a motor vehicle includes a shaped reinforcement body, which includes a fastening seat configured for receiving and fastening a central vent unit. The fastening seat includes two adjacent frames provided for selectively receiving supporting and flow-guide bodies of the vent unit. Each frame includes a bottom frame side defined by a thinned-out strip, provided on which are fastening portions mutually engaged with respective snap-action means of the vent unit.

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 recreational vehicle having a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system operably coupled to a powertrain and coupled with a frame assembly within an occupant area of the vehicle. The HVAC system includes a core configured to selectively heat or cool air, a blower configured to move the air through the core, and a plurality of ducts configured to direct the air to select portions of a cab enclosed by the frame and seating section.

A bodywork for a motor vehicle includes a frame to fix and surround a windshield of the motor vehicle. The frame comprises a crossbar to constitute a support base for the windshield, and a pair of uprights respectively fixed at opposite ends of the crossbar so as to form an area with a closed contour for placing the windshield. The crossbar comprises a first wall facing away from the opposite side to the area. A duct extends through the crossbar between a first opening obtained on a second wall of the crossbar and a second opening obtained on the first wall.

A defroster interior structure includes a defroster outlet blowing out air toward a side glass provided on a door of a vehicle. The door includes the side glass and a door panel provided below the side glass. The defroster outlet is disposed at a position where a side surface of an instrument panel and the door panel overlap each other in a vehicle width direction. The side surface and the door panel form a gap through which an airflow blown out from the defroster outlet flows toward the side glass.

An electric vehicle includes several features to improve ridesharing and/or package delivery services. The vehicle includes electric motor(s) and/or auxiliary system(s) disposed along or under the floor to increase the size of the cabin without increasing the overall size of the vehicle. The passenger seats are foldable and movable to provide a contiguous cargo space. The side door includes an integrally formed B pillar to provide a larger opening on the side of the vehicle when the side door is open for ingress and egress of both the driver and passengers. Each wheel includes an electroactive suspension system to tilt the vehicle in different directions to facilitate greater ease of ingress and egress and/or loading and unloading of cargo. The vehicle includes a user interface system to assist the driver with package delivery services. The vehicle also connects to a trailer that provides electric propulsion and active steering.
