Vehicle
A vehicle is provided with a shock absorber arranged along a side of a housing space for a battery pack of the vehicle, and a reinforcing member for reinforcing a lower surface of an enclosure of the battery pack of the vehicle, the reinforcing member being disposed at a bottom of the housing space for the battery pack of the vehicle, in which the reinforcing member has a section protruding from the housing space for the battery pack, the side surface of the reinforcing member is brought into contact with the side surface of the shock absorber, and the upper surface of the reinforcing member is brought into contact with the lower surface of the shock absorber.
1 . A vehicle comprising:
a shock absorber arranged along a side of a housing space for a battery pack of the vehicle; and
a reinforcing member for reinforcing a lower surface of an enclosure of the battery pack of the vehicle, the reinforcing member being disposed at a bottom of the housing space for the battery pack of the vehicle, wherein
a side surface of the reinforcing member, an upper surface of the reinforcing member, a side surface of the shock absorber, and a lower surface of the shock absorber are defined by top, bottom and sides of the vehicle,
the reinforcing member has a section protruding from the housing space for the battery pack,
the side surface of the reinforcing member is brought into contact with the side surface of the shock absorber,
the upper surface of the reinforcing member is brought into contact with the lower surface of the shock absorber,
the reinforcing member comprises a first reinforcing member and a second reinforcing member,

the second reinforcing member has a corrugated structure along the vehicle in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and
a shape of the first reinforcing member is different from a shape of the second reinforcing member.
2 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the upper surface of the reinforcing member is fastened to the lower surface of the shock absorber by a fastening member.
3 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing member lets a load imposed on the shock absorber and then onto the battery pack be bypassed from the shock absorber to the reinforcing member.
4 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the reinforcing member further comprises a third reinforcing member, and
the third reinforcing member forms an external shape of a lower surface of the reinforcing member.
5 . The vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein
the first reinforcing member is fastened to the shock absorber by a first fastening member,
the second reinforcing member is fastened to the shock absorber by a second fastening member, and
the third reinforcing member is fastened to the shock absorber by the first fastening member.
6 . The vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein extending along the front-rear direction of the vehicle:
a first portion of the third reinforcing member overlaps with a first portion of the first reinforcing member and overlaps with no portion of the second reinforcing member,
a second portion of the third reinforcing member which is adjacent to the first portion of the third reinforcing member overlaps with a second portion of the first reinforcing member and overlaps with a first portion of the second reinforcing member, and
a third portion of the third reinforcing member which is adjacent to the second portion of the third reinforcing member overlaps with a second portion of the second reinforcing member and overlaps with no portion of the first reinforcing member.
