Abstract
A design and a production method of a front floor reinforcement structurefor a vehiclehaving a battery packin the tunneldesigned to improve the energy absorption of the vehicle during a side impact by involving the front floor panelin the energy absorption during the side impact. The front floor reinforcement structureincludes a front floor cross memberhaving a non-deformable portionlocated on the end of the front floor cross memberclosest to the side silland a deformable portionlocated on the end of the front floor cross memberclosest to the tunnel. The resistance to plastic deformation of the non-deformable portionis greater than the resistance to plastic deformation of the deformable portion, which is itself greater than the resistance to plastic deformation of the front floor panel
