An interior structure is located in the storage area. The interior structure defines a storage compartment for housing an electronic component of the automated vehicle. The interior structure includes a removable floor panel overlying the storage compartment and a wall panel extended upward from the floor panel in a height direction of the automated vehicle. The storage compartment includes a dedicated space for the electronic component, the dedicated space located forward of a forward edge portion of the floor panel in the front-rear direction and between the wall panel and the rearmost vehicle seat in the front-rear direction.

A body for a vehicle configured for securing safety performance and vehicle rigidity according to a vehicle collision while increasing a battery capacity mounted in the vehicle, may include an internal side member mounted on a center floor in a longitudinal direction of the body; a battery cross member mounted in a width direction of the body inside a battery case provided at a lower end portion of the center floor while intersecting the internal side member; and a coupling structure coupled to the battery case, the battery cross member, and the center floor.

A body of an electric vehicle may include: a floor panel; a pair of rockers extending along both side edges of the floor panel, respectively; an indoor floor crossmember protruding upward from the floor panel and connecting the rockers to each other; an outdoor floor crossmember protruding downward from the floor panel, connecting the rockers to each other, and located rearward of the indoor floor crossmember; and a battery case located below the floor panel and housing a battery configured to supply power to a traction motor. The battery case may extend from a position located frontward of the indoor floor crossmember to a position that is located rearward of the indoor floor crossmember and frontward of the outdoor floor crossmember.

An underbody for a vehicle may arrange and couple a plurality of assemblies forming the underbody in a vertically laminating structure. The underbody includes a panel assembly configured to form a floor of a vehicle interior; an upper member assembly configured to be laminated on and coupled to an upper side of the panel assembly; and a lower member assembly configured to be laminated on and coupled to a lower side of the panel assembly and coupled to a side portion of the panel assembly and a side portion of the upper member assembly

A vehicle rear body structure improves rigidity of a portion around a wheel house while suppressing an increase in body weight (number of components) as much as possible. While a wheel house inner is provided with a second inner side reinforcement extending in a vertical direction, in a wheel house outer, a bulged section, which is formed to be bulged to a cabin outer side, includes a wheel arch-shaped section formed in an arch shape to cover a rear wheel from above when seen in a vehicle side view. The wheel house outer is formed with an upward extending ridgeline section that extends upward above the wheel arch-shaped section along a bulged shape of the bulged section to the cabin outer side and at least a portion of which overlaps the second inner side reinforcement when seen in the vehicle side view.

A vehicle body structure for safely protecting a high-voltage, the vehicle body structure including: a battery mounted on bottom portions of a center floor and a rear floor; and a protective structure having a bottom portion on which a peripheral portion of the battery is mounted and including panels fitted to each other into a shape covering a peripheral portion of the center floor.

A vehicle body structure for a vehicle having a battery and a rear seat includes a battery mounting portion provided on a floor in the rear of the rear seat and on which the battery is mounted, a cross member configured to reinforce the floor in the front of the battery mounting portion, a lower reinforcement portion configured to reinforce the floor below the battery mounting portion and to be supported on the cross member and both side members, and an upper fixing portion fastened to the lower reinforcement portion in a state of fixing the battery. The vehicle body structure is configured to protect the battery by absorbing and distributing the load from a collision, and effectively utilize the space of the rear side of the vehicle for installing the battery with the rear seat, etc.
