This invention has as its object to efficiently and effectively plan a vehicle. To accomplish this, this invention has an exterior model building program () for building an exterior model having information associated with the exterior of a vehicle, a reference model building program () for building a reference model having information associated with reference components of the vehicle, and information associated with the sitting positions and postures of passengers, and a display program () for superimposing the built exterior model and reference model on the basis of a predetermined rule.

Program, method, apparatus, and system for supporting planning of vehicle

A power plant support structure for supporting a power plant of a vehicle includes a center frame extending in a lengthwise direction of the car body. The center frame is connected, at its lengthwise ends, to front and rear cross members, disposed forward and rearward of the power plant and extending between front side frames. A front mount is secured to the center frame before the power plant and connects the power plant to the center frame. The center frame absorbs an impact exerted on the power plant during a front-end collision of the vehicle.

Power plant supporting structure of automotive vehicle

An undercarriage structure of a motor vehicle has a pair of front frames, a pair of floor frames integrally connected with rear ends of the front frames, a floor panel attached to the floor frames, and side sills extending in a front/rear direction and being connected with the sides of the floor frames. The floor frames, the side sills and the floor panel together form closed sections extending in the front/rear direction.

Undercarriage structure of motor vehicle

A vehicle rear suspension mounting structure for mounting, to a vehicle body, the other end of a rear suspension. The rear suspension includes a suspension link, one end of which is coupled to a wheel support member for rotatably supporting a vehicle wheel and which extends substantially in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. The mounting structure has a vehicle body coupling end formed on the other end of the suspension link, a link bracket for supporting the vehicle body coupling end, and a joint member for joining the link bracket to a rear quarter panel constituting a rear wheel house portion.

Vehicle rear suspension mounting structure

A vehicle suspension mounting structure for mounting a suspension device to a vehicle body. At least the upper arm of the suspension device is constituted by two link members disposed to be spaced apart by a predetermined distance in the vertical direction of the body with respect to a vehicle wheel support member. The suspension mounting structure includes a mounting member for mounting the rear end of the upper link member to an upper frame extending along the back-and-forth direction of the vehicle body.
