Roll-forming technologies for ultra high strength steels are one of the most effective ways to decrease automobile body weight and improve vehicle crash performance. In this study, a new vehicle side structure, that satisfies IIHS impact test criteria, was developed by using roll-forming technologies that do not require the conventional stamping process. From a CAE estimation of the side structure module, the newly developed structures are lighter and perform better under crash conditions than conventional manufactured structures.
