ABSTRACT:
A vehicle or automotive body includes a floor panel, first and second side sills, connected to, respectively, to opposite side of the floor panel, a cross member extending between the side sills and connected to each side sill, a rear door panel, a first reinforcing structure connected to the rear door panel, and a second reinforcing structure connected to the cross member. The second reinforcing structure is arranged with respect to the first reinforcing structure such that the first reinforcing structure contacts the second reinforcing structure during a side impact crash event to transfer load into the cross member.
