Here's a better photo of the bottom of the Citicar.



As you can see, it's aluminum where the batteries go and where your feet go.

There is a plastic panel that goes over the top of where your feet go, it continues up the front angled area to up under the dashboard.

In the back, it's just plastic in the so-called cargo area.

This design puts strength only where it's needed, and saves weight otherwise.
