Side structure of vehicle

Abstract

A side structure of a vehicle is capable of withstanding impacts from the front-rear direction and the side direction with a relatively simple structure. The side structure of the vehicle includes: a pillar which extends along a vehicle up-down direction and is formed into a hollow structure; a door panel which is disposed at a door opening of the vehicle; and a door beam which is disposed in the door panel and extends along a vehicle front-rear direction, and is formed into a hollow structure. The pillar overlaps the door beam when viewed from a vehicle width direction. The pillar includes a first bulkhead which is disposed inside the pillar and corresponds to a position where the pillar overlaps the door beam when viewed from the vehicle width direction. The first bulkhead separates a space inside the pillar in the vehicle up-down direction.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
