Convertible space system for interior cargo area of a vehicle

A vehicle comprising:

• a body having a floor at least partially defining an interior cargo area;
• wherein the floor defines a primary load bearing surface and a pocket having a lower surface disposed vertically below the primary load bearing surface, wherein the lower surface of the pocket defines a secondary load bearing surface vertically spaced below the primary load bearing surface;
• a convertible space system having a pair of panels moveable between a deployed position in which the pair of panels are extended to define a substantially flat structure integrated into the floor to further define the primary load bearing surface, and a stowed position in which the pair of panels are collapsed and positioned to expose the secondary load bearing surface;
• wherein each of the pair of panels includes at least a first section and a second section attached together by a hinge for pivotal movement relative to each other;
• and
• wherein the pocket includes a pair of grooves disposed laterally across the pocket from each other, with each of the pair of grooves formed by the pocket and shaped to receive one of the pair of panels therein in a vertically upright position, with the first section and the second section of each of the pair of panels folded adjacent each other, when disposed in the stowed position.
