AUTOMOBILE BODY STRUCTURE

摘要

It is an object of the present invention to prevent a vehicle door from protruding into a vehicle cabin when a collision load is applied to the door from a lateral side thereof, and to reduce costs that are required for measures to prevent the door from protruding into the vehicle cabin.
The present invention is directed to a vehicle body structure in which a collision load (F) applied to one of vehicle doors from a lateral side thereof is received by a load receiving member (20) of a body via an impact beam (2) and a door box (4) of the door and is transmitted from the load receiving member (20) to a cross member (10). The load receiving member (20) includes a load receiving pipe (30) that is formed as a linear tubular body disposed between the right and left doors so as to extend in a vehicle widthwise direction and is capable of transmitting the collision load from the door box (4) of one of the doors to a door box of the other of the doors, and connecting portions (40) that are capable of supporting the load receiving pipe (30) at positions adjacent to the right and left doors and connecting the load receiving pipe to the cross member.
