Tunnel region of a floor structure of a bodyshell f a motor vehicle and a transverse bridge. A tunnel region of a floor structure with a transverse bridge for reinforcing the tunnel region, which is held on the tunnel region by brackets fixed on side walls of the tunnel region. The side walls of the tunnel region are aligned vertically in the region in which the brackets are attached, and the brackets are positioned at the same height on the side walls.
A vehicle front body structure includes a floor panel, front side members under the floor panel extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction, a sub-frame fixed at its front and rear fixing points to the front side members, and reinforcing members fixed to the floor panel. The rear fixing points of the sub-frame are located on transversely inner side of the front fixing points thereof. Each of the reinforcing members extends substantially in parallel to a straight line passing through the front and rear fixing points on transversely same side of the sub-frame. The front part of the reinforcing member is connected to a vicinity of the rear fixing point of the sub-frame and a rear part thereof is connected to a floor tunnel of the floor panel extending in a vehicle longitudinal direction.
A structural reinforcement system is provided for an automotive vehicle. In another aspect of the present invention, a structural beam is employed which extends in a cross-vehicle direction spaced above a vehicle floor. A further aspect of the present invention provides a cross-vehicle reinforcement beam inside another structural member. Yet another aspect of the present invention uses a structural reinforcement system in a convertible roof vehicle.
A structural seat system is provided for an automotive vehicle. In another aspect of the present invention, a structural beam is employed which extends in a cross-vehicle direction spaced above a vehicle floor. A further aspect of the present invention provides a passenger seat with a recessed configuration. Yet another aspect of the present invention uses a structural reinforcement and seat system in a convertible roof vehicle.
