An automobile with an additional reinforcement that can guide the deformation of the center pillar structure in the event of a side collision

摘要

The vehicle includes an additional reinforcing portion that can guide the deformation of the center pillar structure in the case of a side collision. The vehicle includes a center pillar structure (4) on each side flank that delimits two door openings (5, 6) by an upper cross member (2) and a lower cross member (3). The center pillar structure (4) includes an outer shell (1), and the center pillar structure (4) is connected to one and includes first and second reinforcing portions (8, 9) disposed along the vertical axis (Z) of the automobile. The second reinforcing part (9) is disposed proximal to the lower cross member (3), and the automobile is proximal to the lower end part (8b) of the first reinforcing part (8). Additional, fixed to the inner surface of the second reinforcing part (9) and capable of guiding the deformation of the center pillar structure (4) in case of a side collision by an external element to one of the side flank A reinforcement part (10) is provided.
