Vehicle body structure |
摘要 |
A vehicle body structure is obtained that can ensure ease of ingress/egress in a structure in which an energy absorbing member is disposed at a vehicle width direction outer side with respect to a skeleton member that forms a lower edge of an opening for ingress/egress. A vehicle body structure (10) has a rocker (20) that is long in a front-rear direction and at which a cross-section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is a closed cross-sectional portion (20C); an outer panel (55) that covers the rocker (20) from a transverse direction outer side; and an EA member (54) for a side collision that is disposed between the rocker (20) and the outer panel (55). An opening flange (80) is formed by joining of a standing flange (60), that is disposed at a vehicle width direction outer side with respect to the closed cross-sectional portion (20C) at the rocker (20), and a standing flange (62) of the outer panel (55). |

1. A vehicle body structure comprising:
a skeleton member that is long in a vehicle front-rear direction and has a closed cross-sectional portion wherein a cross-section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is a closed cross-section, due to joining of an upper panel and a lower panel, and having a first flange that is disposed so as to prescribe a lower edge of an opening for ingress/egress at a vehicle width direction outer end side of a vehicle body and that is provided at a vehicle width direction outer end of the closed cross-sectional portion or at a vehicle width direction outer side with respect to the closed cross-sectional portion so as to face the vehicle width direction outer side; an outer panel having a second flange that is joined to the first flange and as seen from the longitudinal direction of the skeleton member, an end portion thereof at a side opposite to the second flange provided as a free end, and that configures an opening flange that projects out into the opening for ingress/egress, and covering the skeleton member from the vehicle width direction outer side; and an energy absorbing member disposed between the outer panel and an outer side wall that configures a vehicle width direction outer side at the closed cross-sectional portion of the skeleton member. |
