A vehicle may include a vehicle body including a floor panel, a battery pack located below the floor panel and an energy absorption member located outwardly from the battery pack in a vehicle width direction and fixing the battery pack to the vehicle body. A support that protrudes downwardly may be disposed on a lower wall of the battery pack. The energy absorption member may include a protrusion that protrudes inwardly in the vehicle width direction toward the support. A tip end of the protrusion may include a contact surface being in contact with a side surface of the support in the vehicle width direction.

Vehicle

An optical fiber composite insulator including a hollow insulator body having an axial through-hole and at least one optical fiber extended through the through-hole and hermetically sealed to the inner surface of the through-hole by a sealing material. A relationship between a condition of the inner surface of the through-hole and the sealing material, a relationship between the inner diameters of the through-hole and the outer diameter of the hollow insulator body or a coating material on the optical fiber are selected to provide high insulating property, mechanical strength and airtight property of the optical fiber composite insulator.
