The vehicle floor structure includes a left rocker disposed on a side surface of the vehicle, a front floor cross member having a hat-shaped cross section composed of the upper open groove portion and the rear upper flange and the front upper flange, and a front connecting member for connecting the left rocker and the front floor cross member. The left rocker is arranged so that the height of the upper surface is lower than the rear upper flange and the front upper flange of the front floor cross member. Front connecting member has a hat-shaped cross section composed of a lower open groove portion and a rear lower flange, a front lower flange. The front connecting member connects the upper surface of the left rocker, the upper rear flange of the front floor cross member, and the upper front flange.

Vehicle floor structure

A vehicle lower structure, including: a base member provided under a floor of a vehicle; a pair of reinforcement members; a slope device accommodated above the base member and between the pair of reinforcement members; and a vehicle body floor, both the slope device and the vehicle body floor being fastened to each of a rear flange of a front reinforcement member and a front flange of a rear reinforcement member of respective pairs of the flanges of each of the pair of reinforcement members, and a first fastening portion being disposed so as not to contact the vehicle body floor, and a second fastening portion at which the vehicle body floor is fastened to the rear flange of the front reinforcement member and to the front flange of the rear reinforcement member being disposed so as not to contact the slope device.

Vehicle lower structure

A latch structure includes: a door that is changeable between a closed state in which the door covers a door opening provided on a peripheral wall of a vehicle and an opened state in which the door opens the door opening; a floor panel that constitutes a floor surface of an interior space; a door-side engaging portion mounted on the door; and a floor-side engaging portion mounted on the floor panel and engageable with the door-side engaging portion when the door is in the closed state.

In-vehicle door latch structure and vehicle

A vehicle bottom structure includes a slope device including a slope plate and guide rails, floor crossmembers, and a floor panel structure. The floor crossmembers are arranged at intervals in the vehicle front-rear direction. The slope device is provided between paired floor crossmembers, and the slope device is provided below a standing-ride region. The floor panel structure is provided over the paired floor crossmembers such that the floor panel structure is placed above the slope device and serves as a floor material in the standing-ride region. The floor panel structure includes panel segments extended in the vehicle front-rear direction so as to be provided over the paired floor crossmembers, and the panel segments are shorter than the whole length of the standing-ride region in the vehicle width direction. The panel segments are arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction in the standing-ride region.

Vehicle bottom structure

A bumper reinforcement mounting structure includes a plurality of vehicle body skeleton members disposed at an interval in a vehicle width direction and extending in a vehicle front-rear direction, a bumper reinforcement that extends in the vehicle width direction and is mounted on the vehicle body skeleton members, and a first mounting member that is used to mount a mounting portion of the bumper reinforcement on one of the vehicle body skeleton members. The first mounting member has shear strength that is lower than shear strength of the mounting portion of the bumper reinforcement.

Bumper reinforcement mounting structure

A structure of the vehicle includes a rear side member, a crush box and a bumper reinforcement. The rear side member is arranged outside in a width direction of the vehicle and is extended with a length direction of the rear side member coinciding with a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The crush box plastically deforms through compression of the vehicle. The bumper reinforcement is provided with a hat-shaped open cross-section where a recess portion recessed outward with respect to the vehicle is provided in an inner surface of the bumper reinforcement in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A width of an open-end portion of the recess portion in a vertical direction of the vehicle is set larger than a width of the rear side member and a size of the crush box in the vertical direction of the vehicle.
