Abstract
A front vehicle body structure has a member provided at a side section of a vehicle body along a vehicle-body front-rear direction, a powertrain disposed on an inner side of the vehicle body relative to the member and fixed to a front section of the vehicle body, and a load transmission member provided on the member and configured to come into contact with one end portion, in a vehicle width direction, of the powertrain when receiving a collision load applied by an obstacle from a front side of the vehicle body, and to transmit the load from the obstacle to the powertrain in a state of being sandwiched between the obstacle and the powertrain. The load transmission member has a concave curved surface formed in a surface thereof along the vehicle-body front-rear direction. The concave curved surface is elastically deformed in the state of being sandwiched between the obstacle and the powertrain and receiving the load.
