Where is the B-pillar located on a car body?
1 Answers
The B-pillar of a car body is the pillar located between the front door and the rear door; the A-pillar is the pillar located between the windshield and the left front door. Both the A-pillar and B-pillar are main components supporting the structural strength of the vehicle. In the upper part of the front and rear doors of the cockpit, there is a piece of car glass each, and the pillar between these two pieces of glass is the B-pillar. Generally, the B-pillar is vertical, and some additional parts, such as the front seat belts, are installed inside the B-pillar. Therefore, to better achieve force transmission, the B-pillar often bulges outward. Hence, the challenge with the B-pillar is to achieve a balance between stiffness and weight. If viewed from inside the cabin, the position of the front seat belts is where the B-pillar is located.
