E88 Complete Vehicle
Strut Brace Concept
The underbody strut braces along with the sill/rocker beam structure secure the front and
rear sections of the under body while reinforcing the lower rocker assemblies. The entire
concept is designed to work together with the modular partition wall and the front strut
bracing assembly to meet the E88’s requirements for structure rigidity and crash safety
standards.
