Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a side sill for a vehicle, wherein the side sill is capable of absorbing an impact during lateral collision of the vehicle to maximally suppress the degree to which the side sill enters the interior, and protecting vehicle occupants and batteries. The side sill for a vehicle comprises: a side sill inner panel; a side sill outer panel coupled to the side sill inner panel; and a first cushioning member disposed between the side sill inner panel and the side sill outer panel and constituting a plurality of closed cross-sections arranged in the width direction of the side sill. The first cushioning member includes a main body formed by bending a single plate, and at least one partition member connecting both surfaces of the main body. A plurality of beads may be formed on the main body and the partition member.

Abstract: A side sill structure with a side sill is provided. The side sill extends in a vehicle front-rear direction on an outer side in a vehicle width direction of a floor panel, and defines a closed cross-section by a combination of a sill inner member disposed on a vehicle inner side and a sill outer member disposed on a vehicle outer side. The side sill includes a plurality of partitioning members located in the closed cross-section, and a stiffener connecting the partitioning members to one another in a longitudinal direction of the side sill. In the side sill structure, the stiffener is arranged along a corner portion formed by an inner side wall and an upper wall on the vehicle inner side of the sill inner member.
