Abstract
A vehicle body includes: left and right floor frames for supporting a floor panel; left and right side-frames extending from the vicinities of ends of the left and right floor frames in the front-rear direction so as to be separated in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body from the left and right floor frames; and a subframe provided below the left and right side-frames. Left and right bulkheads and left and right collar sections of a hollow shape, which are provided to the left and right bulkheads, are provided within the left and right floor frames. The subframe has left and right subframe end sections extending toward end sections of the left and right floor frames. The left and right subframe end sections are connected to the left and right collar sections by left and right connection members so as to be able to swing vertically.
