Abstract: A rear structure of a vehicular body has side sills disposed at lateral ends of the vehicular body. The rear structure further has side rear members having a hat-shaped cross-section and having a kick-up portion that is upwardly inclined. The side rear members are bonded to the side sills at bonded portions, and extend toward a rear of the vehicular body. The rear structure further has a cross member connecting side sills in a lateral direction across the vehicular body. The cross member is connected to each of the side sills at connected portions at a rear of the kick-up portions. The rear structure further has reinforcements having a closed cross-section in a longitudinal plane and in a lateral plane. The reinforcements are disposed in the side rear members between the bonded portions and the connected portions.

Abstract: An impact energy absorbing structure of a frame member of a vehicle, which includes: a first bead formed on the frame member, which promotes bending deformation of the frame member when an impact load is inputted in an axial direction thereof; a second bead formed on the frame member, which promotes axial deformation of the frame member when the impact load is inputted in the axial direction thereof; and a reinforcement panel attached to the frame member. The frame member is configured to accommodate the reinforcement panel both in a first position beside the first bead and on the side from which the impact load is inputted, and in a second position where the first bead is reinforced with the reinforcement panel.
