A vehicle door has a supporting press formed frame ( 10 ) of high-strength steel that has two standing hat beams ( 13, 15 ) interconnected by an upper horizontal hat beam ( 14 ), a lower horizontal hat beam ( 16 ) and intermediate side impact guard beam ( 22 ). The hat beams have their crowns ( 12 ) directed towards the interior of the vehicle and they carry an outer panel ( 28 ) by their outer side flanges ( 17 ). The standing hat beams ( 13, 15 ) have a profile height on at least portion ( 23, 24, 28 ) of their length that overlaps the corresponding pillar ( 30, 34 ). Thereby, in a frontal crash, the frame of the door can transmit force from the A-pillar of the vehicle to the B-pillar. |
