VEHICLE FRAME ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240116348 titled 'VEHICLE FRAME ASSEMBLY
Simplified Explanation
The vehicle frame assembly described in the patent application includes a battery located at a lower portion of the vehicle, with a rear floor panel extending in a transverse direction behind the battery. The rear floor panel has second rear mounting parts at its opposite ends, with a depressed center portion providing a boarding space. The frame rear side members support the rear floor panel from below, with inclined front ends at the same height as the depressed boarding space.

Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle frame assembly includes a battery at a lower portion of a vehicle and a rear floor panel extending in a transverse direction of the vehicle and located rearward of the battery. opposite ends of the rear floor panel have second rear mounting parts extending outward and a center portion between the second rear mounting parts is depressed downward to provide a boarding space. the vehicle frame assembly includes frame rear side members extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle at opposite lateral sides of the battery. each frame rear side member has a front end and a back end connected to each other to be inclined and each front end has the same height as the boarding space depressed downward, and each back end is coupled to the second rear mounting parts in one direction to support the rear floor panel from below.
