Abstract
An assembly providing lateral protection for motor vehicles, in which at least one reinforcement, extending essentially in the vehicle longitudinal direction and preferably constructed as hollow bearer, is arranged inside of each of the doors and the lower area of the doors is constructed so as to form-lockingly engage with the door threshold bearers. The reinforcement is so arranged that the orientation of a force flow starting from the reinforcement takes place, in case of a lateral impact in the direction toward the door threshold bearer so that the latter is utilized for the dissipation of impact energy, and particularly when the lateral impact takes place above the same.
