  • Publication number: 20160039467
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vehicle lower section structure that may obtain efficient load transmission obliquely toward the rear side, even in the event of an oblique collision. A reinforcement member is coupled to one lower tunnel reinforcement, and is coupled to another a lower tunnel reinforcement on progression toward the rear side. Collision load transmitted to the reinforcement member is accordingly transmitted obliquely toward the rear from the one lower tunnel reinforcement to the other lower tunnel reinforcement. Namely, the vehicle lower section structure of the present disclosure is capable of obtaining effective load transmission obliquely toward the rear side even in the event of an oblique collision.
