Abstract
At present, the issues of most importance are the environment and fuel efficiency. Thus, automobile companies have endeavored to reduce the weight of cars and develop eco-friendly fuel. The other issue is for the safety of passengers. Especially the new NCAP and IIHS’s regulations involving roof crash test have strengthened for a few years. The automobile indutry should increase the weight of cars for the improved regulation for the safety of passengers. OEMs have to satisfy the two confrontational requirements as developing the new vehicle. Therefore this paper will present the way to fulfill the confrontational goal by making a new B pillar structure through TRIZ and adjusting 980 Mpa high strengthened steel into the Center Pillar Outer.
