摘要

A vehicle body (11) includes: an opening (15) which is formed in the rear surface; a rear panel assembly (26) having a closed cross-sectional shape, the rear panel assembly (26) being located at the lower edge (15b) of the opening and extending in the width direction of the vehicle; left and right rear wheel wells (21, 21) located in front of the rear panel assembly; and left and right gussets (114, 114) for panels, the gussets (114, 114) connecting the left and right rear wheel wells and the rear panel assembly. Each of the left and right rear wheel wells forms a portion of each of the inner walls (19, 19) of the vehicle body side sections, and the left and right rear wheel wells have left and right support sections (49, 49) for supporting rear dampers (48, 48) for the left and right rear suspensions. The left and right gussets for panels extend from the left and right rear wheel wells to the rear of the vehicle body and to the center of the vehicle body in the width direction of the vehicle and are joined to the rear panel assembly.
