ABSTRACT:
A vehicle body includes a center pillar structure including an outer reinforcement having an outer wall and two side walls defining a channel. Two reinforcements are located within the channel, each rigidly interconnecting the outer wall with a respective one of the sidewalls. A tension panel preferably interconnects the two sidewalls. The center pillar structure is characterized by continuity of strength along its height and increased resistance to vertical compressive loads.
