VEHICLE BODY FRONT STRUCTURE OF A VEHICLE

摘要

In a vehicle body front structure, a collision load is input to an outside protruding portion of a gusset when a portion farther to a vehicle width direction outside than a front side member of a vehicle collides in a frontal collision with a colliding object (here, barrier (B)) such as an oncoming vehicle (i.e., when a so-called small overlap collision occurs). This gusset is fixed in a cross section of a front portion of the front side member, so the collision load is able to be better transmitted to a vehicle width direction inside portion of the front side member. Moreover, this gusset abuts against a front end portion of the outer panel of the front side member from a vehicle front side, so the collision load is also able to be better transmitted to a vehicle width direction outside portion of the front side member.

主权项

1. A vehicle body front structure comprising:
a front side member that extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction on a side portion of a vehicle body front portion, and in which an outside open portion that is open toward a vehicle width direction outside is formed on a front portion; and a load transmitting member that is fixed in a cross section of the front portion of the front side member, and has an outside protruding portion that passes through the outside open portion and protrudes toward the vehicle width direction outside of the front side member, the load transmitting member abutting against a side wall on the vehicle width direction outside of the front side member from a vehicle front side.
