Abstract
The present invention aims at providing a vehicle body front-part structure which can efficiently disperse an impact load acting on the front part of a vehicle. In the vehicle body front-part structure in accordance with the present invention, a portionof a radiator support supporting an upper part of a radiator arranged in the front part of a vehicleis connected to a skeletonof the vehicle body by a pair of first radiator support supporting memberswhich support it from both sides in the vehicle width direction, and second radiator support supporting memberswhich are arranged on the inner side of the pair of first radiator support supporting membersin the vehicle width direction and support it from the backside. Therefore, at the time when vehicles collide, the impact load on the portionof the radiator support supporting the upper part of the radiator can be transmitted to the skeletonof the vehicle body through the first radiator support supporting membersand the second radiator support supporting memberswhich are arranged on the inner side of the first radiator support supporting membersin the vehicle width direction, so as to be dispersed efficiently.
