An underframe structure 1 for a vehicle 3 includes a longitudinal box section 15, a floor panel 17 forming part of a cabin floor 11 and a conduit 33 for receiving a vehicle system breather tube 29, typically a fuel tank breather tube. Conduit 33 is integrated into underframe structure 1 and at least a section of the conduit extends within longitudinal box section 15. Typically, conduit 33 is under floor panel 17 and may extend in a transverse direction alongside a transverse member. Conduit 33 may open to a wheel arch sidewall, and one end may be lower than the other end. Underframe structure 1 may be a rear underframe structure. A vehicle with such an underframe structure is also provided.
