Abstract

A vehicle rocker assembly includes a sill inner and a sill outer. An upper flange portion of the sill inner is coupled with an upper flange portion of the sill outer, and a lower flange portion of the sill inner is coupled with a lower flange portion of the sill outer to enclose a hollow interior of the vehicle rocker assembly. One of the sill inner or the sill outer includes a reinforcement structure integrated in the sill wall of the respective still inner or sill outer. The reinforcement structure includes walls that each laterally span the hollow interior and form a multi-hollow cross-sectional shape with the sill inner and sill outer.
