  • Publication number: 20230303009
    Abstract: A driver's cab is located at the front end portion of a vehicle. A sensor unit is provided on the front face of a body of the vehicle and is located at the same height as the driver's-cab floor of the driver's cab. A floor crossing member extends along the lateral direction of the vehicle on the driver's-cab floor between the sensor unit and an accelerator pedal. The floor crossing member has both sides coupled one-to-one with a left front side member and a right front side member extending along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, respectively, at the left front portion and right front portion of the vehicle. After entering the driver's cab due to a frontal collision, the sensor unit abuts on the floor crossing member, leading to suppression of the distance of entry of the sensor unit into the driver's cab.

  • Publication number: 20220402556
    Abstract: Instrument panel side parts are provided integrally with an instrument panel main body part. Vehicle-mounted components are housed in the instrument panel side parts. Thus, even in a vehicle in which an engine compartment is not provided on a vehicle front side in a vehicle cabin it is possible to ensure a housing space for these vehicle mounting parts. Further, the instrument panel side parts are provided integrally with the instrument panel main body part. Thus, compared to a case in which the instrument panel side parts are separated from the instrument panel main body part, a space around the driver's seat can be expanded by the reduced amount of dead space, and the comfortability of the driver can be ensured.

  • Publication number: 20220402552
    Abstract: A vehicle front section structure includes left and right front side frame. A deformation portion configured to undergo compression deformation in the vehicle front-rear direction at a time of head-on collision of the vehicle is provided at a front end portion of each of the left and right front side frames. Left and right front side members that support a floor section of a vehicle cabin extend along the vehicle front-rear direction at a vehicle upper side with respect to the left and right front side frames. Front sections of the left and right front side members and the corresponding left and right deformation portions are connected by left and right coupling members. The left and right coupling members are configured so as to more readily undergo plastic deformation under collision load at a time of head-on collision than the left and right front side members.
