VEHICLE FRONT PART STRUCTURE

To prevent an electronic component, wiring and the like inside a cover member from being damaged by heat while improving fuel efficiency by covering an engine with the cover member to warm air soon at the time of restarting the engine.SOLUTION: Below a bonnet 28, with respect to a part Zuc in a vehicle width direction of at least a front part in a vehicle longitudinal direction of an upper wall 31 of a cover member 30 covering an upper surface and a peripheral side surface of an engine 1, a space between the part and the engine 1 is formed larger than the other site, and with respect to a site Zbc positioned above exhaust-system main components 18 and 19, a space between the site and the engine 1 is formed larger than the other sites Zbr and Zbl, in the vehicle width direction of a rear wall 34 of the cover member 30.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】エンジンをカバー部材で覆うことにより、エンジンの再始動時の早期暖気による燃費向上を図りつつ、カバー部材内部の電子部品や配線等の熱害を防ぐこと。【解決手段】ボンネット２８の下方に、エンジン１の上面及び周囲側面を覆うカバー部材３０の上壁３１の車両前後方向の少なくとも前部の車幅方向の一部分Ｚｕｃについて、エンジン１との間の空間を他の部位より広く形成するとともに、上記カバー部材３０の後壁３４の車幅方向における、排気系主要部品１８，１９の上部に位置する部位Ｚｂｃについて、エンジン１との間の空間を他の部位Ｚｂｒ，Ｚｂｌより広く形成した。【選択図】図１
