A floor structure of a rear vehicle body, in which at least one component including a high-voltage battery is mounted in a rear portion of a vehicle body, includes: a first cross member coupled to each front portion of first and second rear side members in a vehicle width direction; and a second cross member coupled to the first and second rear side members at a rear of the corresponding first cross member in the vehicle width direction, wherein a space in which the at least one component is mounted is formed between the first cross member and the second cross member.

Floor structure of rear vehicle body

An embodiment rear vehicle body structure includes a rear floor structure coupled to rear side members respectively arranged on both sides of a vehicle body rear portion along a vehicle width direction and a cooling module mounting unit including cooling modules respectively connected to both sides of the vehicle body rear portion, wherein the cooling modules are respectively arranged on both sides of the rear floor structure along the vehicle width direction.

Rear vehicle body structure

An embodiment is a vehicle body structure including a front body comprising a first cooling module, a middle body having a center floor panel, the center floor panel being connected to the front body, and a rear body comprising a second cooling module and a third cooling module, the second cooling module being on each of two sides of a rear portion of the rear body in a vehicle width direction, the rear body being connected to the middle body, the third cooling module being in the rear portion of the rear body.

Vehicle body structure

An embodiment casting vehicle body structure includes a fender apron upper member, a shock absorber housing disposed under the fender apron upper member, a front side member disposed under the shock absorber housing, a side member runner protruding from an inner surface of the front side member, and a side member rib protruding from the side member runner.

Casting vehicle body structure

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.

Front vehicle body structure

A rear vehicle body structure includes two opposite rear side members to which wheelhouse panels are respectively coupled and spring seats positioned respectively at lower sides of the two opposite rear side members.

A trailing arm mounting structure for a space frame vehicle includes: a trailing arm mounting portion configured to mount a trailing arm; a side sill including a rear portion on which the trailing arm mounting portion is mounted; and a rear pillar connected to an upper rear portion of the side sill.

Trailing arm mounting structure for space frame vehicle

A front side member of a vehicle includes: a front side member body disposed at right and left sides along a width direction of the vehicle while being formed to extend along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and having a closed cross-sectional formed inside, wherein the closed cross-sectional is divided by at least one rib, and wherein two or more flow paths that are not fluidically-communicate with each other are formed, reducing a weight and a part number of the vehicle and improving a layout of the engine compartment.

Front side member

A rear vehicle body structure includes right/left side rear upper side members having ends respectively connected to right/left side center pillar members disposed at right/left sides along a width direction of a vehicle as well as being formed to extend along a height direction of a vehicle and a center pillar cross reinforcement member formed to extend along the width direction to connect the right/left side center pillar members, and disposed at the right/left sides along the width direction. A rear upper cross member is formed to extend along the width direction to connect the right/left side rear upper side members.

A front vehicle body structure is provided. The front vehicle body structure includes fender apron upper members that extend longitudinally and disposed in left and right sides of the front vehicle body in a width direction, respectively. Front pillar members traversely extend and are disposed in the left and right sides of the front vehicle body in the width direction, respectively. A cowl upper cross reinforcing member extends in the width direction. Further, front pillar upper members longitudinally extend and are disposed in left and right sides of the front vehicle body in the width direction, respectively, and are disposed rearward of the longitudinal direction and upward of the transverse direction against the fender apron upper member. Further, a joint is coupled with front ends of the fender apron upper members, the front pillar members, the front pillar upper members, and the cowl upper cross reinforcing member, respectively.

A front vehicle body structure includes: lower side members extended in a length direction of a vehicle, and disposed at left and right sides in a width direction of the vehicle; a dash lower cross reinforcement member extended in the width direction of the vehicle, and to which a rear end of each of the front lower side members in the length direction of the vehicle is coupled; and joints to which the rear ends of the left and right front lower side members and the dash lower cross reinforcement member are coupled, which can result in enhanced structural rigidity of the vehicle front body.

A rear vehicle body reinforcing structure may include a rear reinforcing member deployed on a periphery of a vehicle body rear door opening and configured to be coupled to a rear vehicle body, in which the rear reinforcing member is opened upward in a height direction of a vehicle.

Rear vehicle body reinforcing structure

A structure for reinforcing a seat mounting portion of a vehicle body may include a floor panel having a tunnel portion that protrudes in a height direction of a vehicle, side sill members extended in a length direction of the vehicle and coupled to the floor panel at both left and right sides in a width direction of the vehicle, a seat inner member coupled to the tunnel portion, a seat cross member extended in the width direction of the vehicle and having an outer tip portion coupled to the side sill members and an inner tip portion coupled to the seat inner member, a seat outer member coupled to the outer tip portion of the seat cross member and attached to the side sill members and the floor panel, and a reinforcing member inserted into the seat outer member to reinforce rigidity.
