Patent ID: 7896410

Claim:
A vehicle end portion structure, comprising: an energy-absorbing member, which is provided at at least one vehicle end portion of a vehicle longitudinal direction and absorbs energy of an external force by deformation, wherein a vehicle longitudinal direction thickness of the energy-absorbing member becomes thinner from a vehicle lateral direction middle portion toward an end portion, the vehicle lateral direction middle portion being positioned at a center of a vehicle in a vehicle lateral direction, a vehicle longitudinal direction rigidity of a part at which the vehicle longitudinal direction thickness of the energy-absorbing member is thicker is lower than the vehicle longitudinal direction rigidity of a part at which the vehicle longitudinal direction thickness of the energy-absorbing member is thinner, the energy-absorbing member has a plurality of ribs each of which extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction, characterized in that the energy-absorbing member has an E-shaped vehicle lateral direction cross-section, and a vehicle height direction thickness of the ribs varies in the vehicle lateral direction so as to increase from the part of the energy-absorbing member at which the vehicle longitudinal thickness is thicker towards the part of the energy-absorbing member at which the vehicle longitudinal thickness is thinner.
