Abstract: In a front frame structure for an electric vehicle, front side frames disposed in extra spaces between side walls of a motor room and side surfaces of a power control unit include a wall-shaped portion in a rear region and an arm-shaped portion in a front portion. A first inclined surface portion is formed in a lower portion of the wall-shaped portion to extend forward from a rear portion. A second inclined surface portion is formed on a bottom surface of the arm-shaped portion to extend forward from an end of the first inclined surface portion. Lower side frames of the lower frame and the front side frames are joined while being reinforced via front reinforcements. Side surfaces of an upper valley line portion joining the inclined surface portions and side surfaces of the lower side frame facing a lower side of the line portion are coupled via rear reinforcements.

Abstract: A vehicle engine cradle structure includes a front member, a rear assembly and a side member. The front member extends in a vehicle lateral direction and has a first outboard end and a second outboard end. The rear assembly extends in the vehicle lateral direction and has a first outboard area and a second outboard area opposite the first outboard area. The first side member has a first forward end, a first rearward end and a first forward outboard portion all being formed as a single monolithic unitary element. The first forward end is fixedly attached to the first outboard end of the front member. The first rearward end is fixedly attached to the first outboard area of the rear assembly. The first forward outboard portion extends in an outboard direction from the first outboard end of the front member defining an off-center impact area.

Abstract: A pillar for a vehicle including at least two different localized areas of different tensile strengths. The pillar includes a body defining a width that merges into sidewalls at a transition. The body having a first tensile strength and the transition has a second tensile strength, wherein the first tensile strength is smaller than the second tensile strength. The variety in tensile strength resulting from at least one of varying the material treatment and varying the gauge. The pillar is press-hardened until it reaches a tensile strength of 1500 MPa to 2000 Mpa.
