Abstract
A vehicle includes a vehicle body having a frame structure provided with a pair of right and left side rails, and hydrogen tanks and a secondary battery disposed in a region between the side rails. The side rails have deformed portions that are deformed due to a vehicle front collision load at the time of a vehicle front collision, and the hydrogen tanks are disposed in front of the secondary battery or on both outer sides of the secondary battery in a vehicle width direction such that the deformed portions, when the amount of movement of each of the deformed portions of the side rails has reached a predetermined amount, reach the hydrogen tanks without reaching the secondary battery.
Claims13
A vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle body having a frame structure provided with a pair of right and left side rails;
- and
- hydrogen tanks and a secondary battery disposed in a region between the side rails, wherein:
- the side rails have deformed portions that are deformed due to a vehicle front collision load at a time of a vehicle front collision;
- and
- the hydrogen tanks are disposed such that outer sides of the hydrogen tanks are outside outer sides of the secondary battery in a vehicle width direction such that the deformed portions, when an amount of movement of each of the deformed portions of the side rails has reached a predetermined amount, reach the hydrogen tanks without reaching the secondary battery.
A vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle body having a frame structure provided with a pair of right and left side rails;
- hydrogen tanks and a secondary battery disposed in a region between the side rails;
- and
- a moving member that moves toward a rear side of the vehicle body due to a vehicle front collision load at a time of a vehicle front collision,
- wherein the hydrogen tanks are is disposed such that outer sides of the hydrogen tanks are outside outer sides of the secondary battery in a vehicle width direction such that the moving member, when an amount of movement of the moving member has reached a predetermined amount, reaches the hydrogen tanks without reaching the secondary battery.
A vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle body having a frame structure provided with a pair of right and left side rails;
- and
- hydrogen tanks and a secondary battery disposed in a region between the side rails, wherein:
- the side rails have deformed portions that are deformed due to a vehicle front collision load at a time of a vehicle front collision;
- and
- the hydrogen tanks are disposed in front of the secondary battery or on both outer sides of the secondary battery in a vehicle width direction such that a distance between the deformed portion of each of the side rails and the secondary battery is shorter than a distance between the deformed portion of each of side rails and each of the hydrogen tanks.
