A battery tray for a vehicle includes a peripheral tubular member that borders at least a lateral side of a battery containment area relative to the vehicle. A crush section is attached along an outboard side of the peripheral tubular member. The crush section includes an outboard wall portion, an upper leg portion integrally extending inboard from an upper end of the outboard wall potion, and a lower leg portion integrally extending inboard from a lower end of the outboard wall potion. The upper and lower leg portions of the crush section each terminate inboard at an end flange of the crush section that is attached to the peripheral tubular member to enclose a hollow interior there between.
