Abstract
Both of a requirement for absorption of an impact load in a collision and a requirement for layout of direction and position of a steering wheel are satisfied based on a vehicle-body front structure that includes a partition wall portion which demarcates a vehicle cabin inside space. A lower-side portion of the partition wall portion is formed to be positioned further to vehicle rear toward a lower position. A traveling motor is installed below the lower-side portion of the partition wall portion. A recess portion which is recessed toward vehicle front is formed in a portion, on an upper side of the traveling motor, in the partition wall portion. An inserting hole through which a steering shaft is inserted is formed in a lower wall portion of the recess portion.
