A method of producing thermoplastic resin composite material in which a main base material containing thermoplastic resin and a sheet-like shaped auxiliary base material are integrally molded and are made into composite material. The production method includes the steps of: heating the auxiliary base material (step S); disposing the heated auxiliary base material in a mold (step S); disposing the main base material in the mold via the auxiliary base material (step S); closing the mold, and pressing together and integrally molding the auxiliary base material and the main base material (step S); and taking out the integrally-molded thermoplastic resin composite material from the mold.

Production method for the thermoplastic resin composite material

To provide a vehicle floor panel having a certain rigidity and being less prone to deformation during manufacturing and deformation when the vehicle floor panel installed in a vehicle is subjected to loads in various directions from outside the vehicle. A vehicle floor panel includes a floor panel main body made of a fiber-reinforced resin, a plurality of recesses-to-protruding on one of a lower surfaceand upper surface of the floor panel main body and depressed on the other of the surfaces and arranged by being spaced apart from one another, and ribs-to-connecting two adjacent ones of the recesses on the one of the surfaces of the floor panel main body.
