Abstract: A vehicle frame assembly includes, among other things, a main rail of a vehicle and a truss assembly. The truss assembly includes a forward mounting member directly coupled to the main rail, a rear mounting member, a frame assembly connected to the forward mounting member and the rear mounting member, and an attachment that directly couples the rear mounting member to the main rail. The attachment is configured to shear when a load that exceeds a threshold load is applied to a front of the vehicle. The shearing of the attachment permits the rear mounting member to slide relative to the main rail.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a roof, a floor spaced from the roof, and sides spaced from each other in a cross-vehicle direction. The sides extend from the roof to the floor. Front seats and rear seats are supported by the floor. A beam is spaced from the roof and the floor and extends between the front and rear seats from one side to the other side in the cross-vehicle direction.

The assembly includes a first support member extending transversely from the crossbeam to a first end fixed to the first frame rail. The assembly includes a second support member extending transversely from the crossbeam to a second end fixed to the second frame rail.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle frame. The vehicle includes a subframe connected to the vehicle frame. The vehicle includes a tray supported by the vehicle frame. The vehicle includes a V-shaped member having an end at the tray and a pair of legs extending from the end in a vehicle-forward direction to the subframe.

Abstract: A seat base assembly includes a coupling member, a plurality of adjustment tracks coupled to the coupling member, and a plurality of seat legs, the plurality of seat legs includes at least one inner seat leg, and at least one outer seat leg, wherein the at least one inner seat leg and the at least one outer seat leg each comprise upturned bottom edges, and a lock assembly coupled to at least one of the plurality of seat legs.

Abstract: A seat includes a seat-bottom frame, a seat-back frame rotatable relative to the seat-bottom frame between a forward position and a rearward position, and a first wedge and a second wedge on opposite side of the seat-back frame. The first wedge extends from the seat-back frame in the forward position to the seat-bottom frame, and the second wedge extends from the seat-back frame in the rearward position to the seat-bottom frame.

The vehicle includes a V-shaped member having an end at the tray and a pair of legs extending from the end in a vehicle-forward direction to the subframe.

Abstract: A network of rails for a vehicle includes a lateral rail that extends primarily along a lateral axis of the vehicle, a longitudinal rail that extends primarily along a longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and a circular rail that interacts with at least one of the lateral rail and the longitudinal rail.

Abstract: An impact absorbing system includes a vehicle floor, a rocker, and a reinforcement member. The rocker is disposed below the vehicle floor. The reinforcement member is supported on the rocker. The reinforcement member is deployable from an undeployed position beneath the vehicle floor to a deployed position above the vehicle floor.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a beam having an inboard panel and an outboard panel. The vehicle includes a first rib extending from the inboard panel to the outboard panel and including a first bend and a second bend. The vehicle includes a second rib extending transversely from the first rib at the first bend. The vehicle includes a third rib extending transversely from the first rib at the first bend and opposite the second rib.

Abstract: A battery enclosure for the battery of an electric vehicle is disclosed that is provided with cylindrical impact absorbing tubular members. The tubular members are arrayed about the battery enclosure between an inner wall and an outer wall in a spaced relationship. The tubular members are spaced from each other and include internal reinforcing walls that stiffen the battery enclosure and absorb impact loads. The reinforcing walls may be in an X-shaped, Y-shaped or parallel and may be oriented to absorb impact loads to a greater or lesser extent.

Abstract: A vehicle underbody assembly including a pair of rockers, a pair of rear rails, a first cross member, and a second cross member is provided. Each of the pair or rear rails extends from one of the rockers and each includes a rear portion, a first mid-portion, a second mid-portion, and a forward portion. Each of the forward portions is secured to one of the rockers at one of a first joint and a second joint. The first cross member extends between the rear rails at a transition region between the second mid-portion and the forward portion. The second cross member extends between the rear rails at locations adjacent the first and second joints. Each of the rear rails is thermally treated so that the second mid-portions form a hard strength zone. The hard strength zone may further be defined as a zone having a fully martensitic microstructure.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle is equipped an enclosure for electronic devices that is attached to a roof. First and second bridge brackets extend between the enclosure and one of the roof rails on opposite sides of the roof. The vehicle also includes a roof support structure including a roof bow and windshield header that also supports the enclosure for electronic devices. A method of providing the enclosure for electronic components on the roof of an autonomous vehicle includes the step of inserting first and second bridge brackets into an injection molding die. A thermoplastic material is injected into the injection molding die to form the hollow enclosure and bridge bracket sub-assembly. The sub-assembly is then arranged on the roof, and the bridge brackets are attached to roof rails of the vehicle.
