Original Abstract Submitted
A chassis cab vehicle includes a lower frame, which constitutes a lower structure of the vehicle and is equipped with a pair of side members extending in a lengthwise direction of the vehicle. A battery is coupled between the side members. An upper body is coupled to a front portion of the lower frame and forms a cabin interior. A side sill is formed at a lower end at each side of the upper body and extends to a rear side of the cabin interior. The side sills overlap the respective side members in a lateral direction of the vehicle when coupled to the lower frame.
