Non riesco a trovare cos'è, ma è una innovazione tecnica tipica della Lancia Lambda degli anni '20:
"Oltre alla carrozzeria a struttura portante in sostituzione del classico telaio a longheroni, la Lambda è dotata di molte altre assolute novità tecniche tra cui le sospensioni a ruote indipendenti, il tunnel della trasmissione nel pavimento e freni sulle quattro ruote."

Selected
floor-integrated transmission tunnel
or transmission tunnel integrated into the floor, if you prefer a longer version.
From Lancia history, Google hits, etc. it seems the Lambda was the first to have the transmission tunnel running lengthways in the floor, between driver and passenger.
"His (Vincenzo Lancia's) creation (the Lambda) was essentially a large U-shaped tube with cutouts for the doors, a transmission tunnel integrated into the floor, a luggage compartment at the rear, and finally, strategically made holes to lighten it up further. "
