ABSTRACT:
A vehicle body frame structure includes a side sill and a rear frame continuously joined, with a curved portion formed in the vicinity of a boundary between the side sill and the rear frame. In the curved portion, a continuous change is achieved extending from the side sill side to the rear frame side from a side sill side closed cross-sectional structure portion where a first stiffener is provided to a rear frame side closed cross-sectional structure portion where a second stiffener is provided having a different direction of alignment from that of the first stiffener. An improvement is obtained in the strength of a curved portion in the vicinity of a boundary between a side sill and a rear frame when these are joined together so as to be continuous with each other.
