The honeycomb sandwich structure of composite materials has broad prospects for application in the lightweight design of vehicle bodies. This study investigated the influence of relative density and height on an aluminium honeycomb’s out-of-plane quasi-static compression performance through experiments and simulations. The accuracy of the carbon fibre/aluminium honeycomb sandwich panel’s three-point bending model is verified based on the Hashin failure criterion and experimental validation. Furthermore, the load-bearing capacity of the carbon fibre/aluminium honeycomb sandwich floor is analysed, and the factors influencing the load-bearing capacity of the floor are further explored. The results show that the relative density significantly impacts the out-of-plane quasi-static compression performance of aluminium honeycomb, while the height has a minor influence. Compared with the original CRH5-type floor structure, the carbon fibre/aluminium honeycomb sandwich floor has a weight reduction of 45.23%, and it meets the strength requirements under uniformly distributed and concentrated load conditions. Changing the honeycomb wall thickness and panel thickness distribution can improve the load-bearing capacity of the floor.
