ABSTRACT:
Front upper members and front side members located laterally inward of the front upper members are joined with connecting members of pipe form. A first end portion of each connecting member extends through the front side member and is welded to both sides of the side member. The joint has high rigidity. When impact energy acts on either front upper member, the energy is transmitted to the front side member via the connecting member, and the front side member and the front upper member plastically deform.
