ABSTRACT:
A reinforced structure for a rear part of a front side rail of a vehicle is configured to have a uniform cross-sectional shape for the rear rail (for example, a rear upper rail and a rear lower rail), which reinforces the rear part of the front side rail. The structure also provides lower and upper reinforcing members for forming a plurality of closed sections, such that strength is greatly improved in relation to a frontal impact in a vehicle collision. The reinforced structure also prevents the rear rail from being excessively deformed in a vehicle collision.
