[0045] First, the fuel tank arrangement structure 10 according to the first embodiment will be described. Such as Figure 1 ~ Figure 3 As shown, the pillarless vehicle 12 provided with the fuel tank arrangement structure 10 is a vehicle without only the center pillar on the passenger side (left side). Therefore, the left rear side door (side door on the left rear side) 18 is a sliding door that opens by sliding toward the vehicle rear side and closes by sliding toward the vehicle front side.

[0046] Such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, both end portions in the vehicle width direction of the floor panel 20 are joined and supported at upper end portions of a side sill inner panel 34 provided on the inner side in the vehicle width direction of a pair of left and right side sills 30 described below, wherein the floor panel 20 The floor constituting the cabin of the pillarless vehicle 12 (see also figure 2 ). In addition, the vehicle width direction both ends of the under...

[0077] Next, the fuel tank arrangement structure 10 according to the third embodiment will be described. In addition, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the same part as 1st Embodiment mentioned above, and detailed description (also including a common function) is abbreviate|omitted suitably.

[0078] Such as Figure 9 As shown, in the fuel tank arrangement structure 10 according to the third embodiment, the side sill 30 is configured to be divided into at least a front side sill portion 42 and a rear side sill portion 44 , and the front side The side sill portion 42 and the rear side sill portion 44 are overlapped and joined in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body (hereinafter, the joint portion is referred to as “joint portion 40 ”).

[0079] In addition, the fuel tank arrangement structure 10 according to the third embodiment differs from the above-mentioned first and second embodiments only in that, when viewed from the side of the vehicle width directi...

Abstract

The invention provides a fuel tank configuration structure of a column free vehicle. The fuel tank configuration structure comprises a column free vehicle. One of the left side and right side of the column free vehicle is not provided with a middle column, or either of the left side and right side of the column free vehicle is not provided with a middle column. The fuel tank configuration structure also comprises a fuel tank. When the column free vehicle is viewed from the width direction of the column free vehicle in a side looking mode, the fuel tank is configured in such a mode that at least a portion of the floor of the column free vehicle overlaps with the side sill on the side not provided with the middle column and the side door.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fuel tank arrangement structure for a pillarless vehicle. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known a fuel tank for a vehicle in which a fuel tank is disposed under the floor of the driver's seat and the passenger's seat, and at least a part of the fuel tank is inserted into a floor passage portion disposed between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat. Arrangement structure (for example, refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-85382). [0003] However, in a pillarless vehicle without a center pillar, it is required to reduce the influence on the fuel tank in the event of a side collision, and there is still room for improvement in the fuel tank arrangement structure used there. Contents of the invention [0004] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to obtain a fuel tank arrangement structure for a pillarless vehicle that can reduce the influence on the fuel tank ...
