The front floor upper longitudinal beam side reinforcement 7 and the front seat mounting front cross beam 8 are left-right through integral type, which not only strengthens the torsional stiffness of the vehicle, but also supports and strengthens the rocker side sill 6, thereby improving the strength of the vehicle in the Y direction. Both of them are stamped and formed by high-strength steel plates, and weight reduction holes are provided without affecting the strength of the parts, thereby giving consideration to lightweight design.

[0035] As shown, Figure 2 The rocker side sill 6 is connected to the engine compartment side sill rear section outer lining plate 9 through the rocker side sill front section 4 to form an integral structure, the engine compartment side sill rear section outer lining plate 9 is fixedly connected with the engine compartment side sill front section and the engine compartment side sill rear section (not shown in the figure), thereby forming a stable and reliable beam system structure between the engine compartment side sill front section, the engine compartment side sill rear section, the rocker side sill front section 4, the rocker side sill 6 and the front floor lower longitudinal beam 13. At the same time, the front wall panel 1 is connected with the rocker side sill front section 4, the engine compartment side sill rear section outer lining plate 9 and the front floor 2.
