Abstract
A vehicle body lower structure according to one aspect includes a frame including a side rail extending in a front-rear direction of a vehicle, a motor configured to generate regenerative power, and a brake register configured to convert the regenerative power into thermal energy, in which the brake register is disposed immediately below the side rail so as to receive traveling wind while the vehicle is traveling.
Claims3
A vehicle body lower structure comprising:
- a frame including a side rail extending in a front-rear direction of a vehicle;
- a motor configured to generate regenerative power;
- a brake register configured to convert the regenerative power into thermal energy;
- and
- a bracket connected to the side rail to hold the brake register in a state of being suspended below the side rail,
- wherein the brake register is disposed immediately below the side rail so as to receive traveling wind while the vehicle is traveling, and
- at least a part of the brake register overlaps with the side rail when viewed from below.
