ABSTRACT:
A front body structure includes a pair of side members11and a strength adjusting mechanism50arranged on a forward area11F of each side member11. By the strength adjusting mechanism50,it is established that a maximum stress generated in a front part of each one of imaginary sections Ia-Ie continuing in the longitudinal direction of the forward area11F becomes more than or close to a maximum stress generated in a rear part of the each one of imaginary sections. As a result, when the collision load is inputted to the front end of the side member11obliquely from the front, a collapse is induced from the front end of the forward area11F toward the rear. Then, the collapse is transmitted to the rear part of the area11F continuously, enhancing the absorbing efficiency of the collision energy.
