A vehicle including a frame that includes first and second longitudinally extending rails that each include an inner panel attached to an outer panel, a plurality of bulkheads positioned within each of the first and second longitudinally extending rails between the inner panel and the outer panel, and a first bead pattern that limits deformation of the rail during a frontal impact to the vehicle. During the frontal impact, the locations of the plurality of bulkheads relative to the first bead pattern cause each of the first and second longitudinally extending rails to deform in a controlled manner that maintains a distance between the first and second longitudinally extending rails and a high-voltage component.
