摘要： A reinforcement arrangement for protecting a vehicle occupant in the event of a frontal collision. The reinforcement arrangement which is configured to be centrally located is attachable to lateral support beams of a frame provides a more weight efficient solution compared to previously used reinforcement arrangement attached to longitudinal beams located in a tunnel structure of the vehicle. The described reinforcement arrangement is further configured to minimize intrusion into the vehicle interior in the event of a frontal collision, and to instead direct forces into the frame via the lateral support beams. Thereby, the force can be directed into the frame and not to sensitive components of the energy source.

摘要： A reinforcement structure for protection of a vehicle power source, e.g. a battery pack or a fuel cell. The reinforcement structure extends in a first, a second and a third direction (D1, D2, D3) being perpendicular to each other, wherein an extension of the reinforcement structure is at least 5 times larger in the first and second directions than in the third direction. The reinforcement structure has a tapered shape as seen in a plane spanned by the first and second directions. The present disclosure also relates to a reinforcement unit, a vehicle power source arrangement and a vehicle utilizing such reinforcement structure.
