First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An electric-drive vehicle structure, comprising: a cross member bridged between front side frames in a front of a vehicle; a motor suspended below the cross member; a tray fixed to an upper surface of the cross member; and an electric unit for driving a motor, fixed onto the tray, wherein a front edge of the electric unit is located forward of a front edge of the cross member, wherein the tray has a front edge located, throughout a width thereof, forward of the electric unit, wherein the front edge of the tray is a wall part rising substantially vertically, wherein a longitudinal dimension of the tray is greater than a longitudinal dimension of the cross member, and wherein the tray has attachment pieces aligned with attachment seats provided to a lower part of the electric unit, at locations forward of the cross member and rearward of the cross member. 2. The electric-drive vehicle structure of claim 1 , wherein the tray has a first bottom part fastened to the upper surface of the cross member, and a second bottom part that is formed continuously from a front part of the first bottom part and located higher than the first bottom part, and wherein the attachment seats are provided to the second bottom part.
