Abstract

A side sill for a motor vehicle has a side-sill inner part assigned to a floor assembly, a bottom flange and a side-sill outer part which bounds a cavity of the side sill, in which a reinforcing part, which is fastened to the side-sill inner part, is arranged. In order to provide a side sill which is optimized in respect of simple manufacturing and installation and also needs-oriented design, and by which improved adaptability of the components to different construction variants is possible, the side-sill inner part and the bottom flange are designed as separate components which are connected to each other at least indirectly along a flange connection running in the direction of longitudinal extent of the side sill.
