Abstract: A vehicle may include a battery pack located below the floor panel; an energy absorber extending along a side surface of the battery pack in the front-rear direction and facing the side sill from below; and a cover plate covering a lower surface of the battery pack from below. The energy absorber may include an inner part facing the side surface of the battery pack and an outer part located outside in a left-right direction of the vehicle with respect to the inner part. An end of the cover plate in the left-right direction may be fixed to a lower surface of the inner part of the energy absorber with a plurality of fasteners. A lower surface of the outer part may protrude downward relative to the lower surface of the inner part and is located lower than lower ends of the plurality of fasteners.

Abstract: An electric vehicle includes a power supply placed under a floor panel, a cooler placed under the power supply, a heat transfer material that is sandwiched and compressed between the power supply and the cooler, a protective board that has higher rigidity than the cooler, and is attached to a bottom of the power supply, to cover the cooler from an underside, and an elastic body that is sandwiched and compressed between the cooler and the protective board.

Abstract: An electric powered vehicle including a traction motor is disclosed. The vehicle may further include a body including a cabin and a front body; a subframe mounted at a lower portion of the front body and supporting a suspension along with the front body; and a battery unit mounted a t a lower portion of the cabin and configured to supply electric power to the traction motor. The subframe may include a side rail extending in front-rear directions of the electric powered vehicle and is secured to a rail mount portion of the body at a rear end of the side rail. The battery unit may include a bracket projecting in a front direction of the front-rear directions and is secured to the rail mount portion of the body at the bracket.

Abstract: A vehicle body may include a dash crossmember, a rocker extending rearwards from an end of the dash crossmember, a front pillar extends upwards from the rocker along the side portion of the cabin and a reinforcement plate including a first end joined to the dash crossmember and a second end joined to the front pillar. An inner wall of the dash crossmember may have an uneven shape that defines at least one bend extending in the right-left direction. The first end of the reinforcement plate may at least partly have a bent shape that conforms with the uneven shape of the dash crossmember.

Abstract: An electrified vehicle includes a floor panel, a battery case, a frame that that supports a suspension, and a brace. The brace is fixed to the frame by a first fixing portion situated on a right side of the vehicle with respect to a middle line. The brace is fixed to the frame by a second fixing portion situated on a left side of the vehicle with respect to the middle line. The brace is fixed to the battery case by a third fixing portion situated on the right side of the vehicle with respect to the middle line. The brace is fixed to the battery case by a fourth fixing portion situated on the left side of the vehicle with respect to the middle line. The brace includes a first plate and a second plate which is fixed to the first plate and covers a recessed portion.
