Abstract
A vehicle underbody provides a simple structure which enhances the strength and rigidity at a joint between a tunnel portion and a cross member. The tunnel portion of a floor member extends rearward from the front of the vehicle to reach the cross member. The cross member includes a shelf board portion on a side towards the front. The shelf board portion is longer than the tunnel portion along the transverse axis of the vehicle. The rear end portion of the top surface of the tunnel portion is overlapped with the shelf board portion such that the top surface of the tunnel portion and the shelf board portion are connected there by spot welding or the like.
