1. Examples of Compatible Body


A Large Size Sedan:

The bulkhead upper frame absorbs the upper impact energy.
The wheelhouse member and member support increase contact with the energy absorption structure of other vehicles.
The front side frame efficiently absorbs impact energy.
The remaining energy is dissipated into the floor frame.





A Small Hatchback:

The gusset at the end of front side frame, wheelhouse lower member and bulk head lower cross member increase contact with the energy absorption structure of other vehicles.
The front side frame efficiently absorbs impact energy.
The remaining energy is dissipated into the floor frame.
