  • Publication number: 20250144984
    Abstract: A vehicle panel arrangement having an inner panel having strategically positioned load point areas. Each of these load point areas includes a local reinforcement which is connected securely to the outer surface of the inner panel. The arrangement further includes bulkheads extending from the outside surface of the inner panel and a continuous reinforcement in contact with at least two locations on a vehicle body structure. The combination of the local reinforcements, bulkheads and continuous reinforcement ensures that when external forces are applied to the vehicle panel arrangement, the forces are efficiently distributed across the vehicle panel arrangement and to the vehicle body structure through the continuous reinforcement.
