A vehicle body structure and a vehicle are provided. The vehicle body structure includes a front longitudinal beam, a front compartment crossbeam, and a floor front crossbeam. The front longitudinal beam includes a left front longitudinal beam and a right front longitudinal beam that are disposed at an interval in a transverse direction. The front longitudinal beam is provided with a body section and a downward bent section connected to a rear end of the body section. The front compartment crossbeam is connected to the downward bent section of the left front longitudinal beam and the right front longitudinal beam, and is at least partially located below the body section. The floor front crossbeam is located behind the front compartment crossbeam at an interval, and is connected to the front longitudinal beam.

A frame system for a vehicle including a high-voltage component that includes a pair of spaced apart primary rails that extend from a front of the vehicle toward a rear of the vehicle and a pair of longitudinally extending sills. An impact support rail extends outward from each of the primary rails, and connects each respective primary rail to one of the sills. A cross-member extends outward from each of the primary rails, and connects each respective primary rail to one of the sills, and a laterally extending frame support member extends between the sills at a location between the impact support rails and the cross-members. A pocket is collectively formed between each primary rail, the respective impact support rail, the respective sill, the respective cross-member, and the laterally extending frame support member, and the pocket is configured for receipt and protection of the high-voltage component.

A vehicle-body structure includes a floor panel constituting a floor of an occupant space, a center frame disposed to be higher than and away from the floor panel at a vehicle-width-direction central portion of the occupant space and extending in a front-rear direction, a cross member extending and intersecting the center frame in a plan view in the occupant space, and a connecting member extending upward from the cross member, having an upper portion fixed to the center frame, and connecting the center frame to the cross member.

Front structure for an electric vehicle including a lower dash panel, a seat cross-member and a tunnel nose, such that the tunnel nose is designed to absorb energy in its front portion while resisting intrusion in its rear portion, optimizing the energy absorption in the part during a front crash and protecting the battery pack from being breached by the downward pushing effect of the lower dash panel.

An embodiment front vehicle body structure of a vehicle body is provided. The vehicle body includes an underbody and an upper body coupled to the underbody, and the front vehicle body structure includes a pair of front wheel arch members respectively disposed on both sides of a front part of the upper body according to a vehicle width direction and a front seat mount unit including a front seat crossmember extending along the vehicle width direction and coupled to each of the front wheel arch members.

A motor vehicle body includes a floor structure having at least one side member, and a superstructure arranged thereon and having a hinge pillar adjoining the floor structure. A reinforcing element is provided in a transition region of floor structure and hinge pillar. A first end portion of the reinforcing element is structurally connected to the floor structure and a second end portion of the reinforcing element located opposite the first end is structurally connected to the superstructure.

To sufficiently improve the distortion stiffness of a vehicle body in a case in which no floor tunnel largely bulging upward from a floor panel is provided. A vehicle-body structure includes a floor panel constituting a floor of an occupant space including a seat on which a passenger is to sit, a cross member provided at a rear portion of the floor panel and extending in a vehicle width direction, a center frame disposed to be higher than and away from the floor panel at a vehicle-width-direction central portion of the occupant space and extending in a vehicle front-rear direction, and a connecting member connecting the cross member and a rear portion of the center frame.

An embodiment front vehicle body structure includes an inner cabin part, an outer cabin part, and a reinforcement part mounted between the inner cabin part and the outer cabin part. The inner cabin part, the outer cabin part and the reinforcement part each comprise a carbon fiber reinforced plastic material.

An automated vehicle includes a vehicle body defining a storage area located rearward of a rearmost vehicle seat in a front-rear direction of the automated vehicle. 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 vehicle body front reinforcement assembly includes: a front side beam connected to a front of a dash panel; a side sill connected to a side end portion of a floor panel; and a torque box extending from the dash panel to the side end portion of the floor panel and connecting a rear end of the front side beam to a front end of the side sill, wherein the side sill includes: a side sill coupler coupled to a rear end of the torque box; and a side sill extension connected to a rear end of the side sill coupler and extending towards the rear of a vehicle, and wherein the side sill coupler is made of a material having a lower tensile to strength than the material of the side sill extension.
