Abstract:
A vehicle body structure of the present invention includes an elastic base frame formed in a ring shape; and three elastic upper frames each formed in a ring shape, the three upper frames being disposed on the base frame so as to configure a tetrahedron with the base frame, the three upper frames being connected to the base frame, and the upper frames that are adjacent to each other in a peripheral direction of the base frame being connected to each other. A vehicle body structure is hence provided capable of exhibiting high impact absorption properties.
