Abstract

A novel automotive front lower structure is disclosed, in which the rear ends of left and right under covers are located symmetrically, so that the hot air in the drive unit mounting room is exhausted equally from the right and left rear ends of the under covers. Also, air spoilers arranged at the rear ends of the under covers improve the effect of negative pressure generation for an improved hot air exhaustion performance.
