Abstract
A center pillar for a vehicle is provided and includes carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) and glass-fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) that are alternately laminated to reduce the weight of the center pillar and maintain the strength of the center pillar. The center pillar includes a base layer that is formed of CFRP; and laminate layers in which a plurality of layers of CFRP and a plurality of layers of GFRP are alternately disposed on a first surface and a second surface of the base layer individually. Accordingly, the CFRP and the GFRP laminated on the first surface of the base layer and the CFRP and the GFRP laminated on the second surface of the base layer are symmetrical to each other with respect to a thickness direction of the center pillar.
