ABSTRACT:
A passenger cell for a passenger vehicle has a B-pillar on each side of the vehicle body. To increase the transverse rigidity of the passenger cell in side impact loads behind the front seats, a device is provided which has a closed hollow beam extending approximately horizontally across the longitudinal direction of the vehicle with lateral ends of the device connected to the adjacent B-pillars. To create an effective device for increasing the transverse rigidity of the passenger cell for a two-door passenger vehicle having only front seats and a mid-engine placement, the device situated approximately at the shoulder height of a vehicle occupant includes a central hollow beam offset to the rear in relation to the B-pillars and connected in a force-transmitting manner to the B-pillars in front at its two laterally exterior ends via side parts that are seen as curved from above.
