A structural assembly (18 fig 3) is provided for energy absorption in a side region of a vehicle. The assembly comprises a main body or extrusion 20, typically comprising a sill, and an energy absorber 22 which is shorter that the main body 20 in a longitudinal direction and is connected to the main body to provide a local structural energy absorption feature. The energy absorber 22 typically extends laterally and includes a portion which extends as an insert into an aperture (40 fig 1B) of the main extrusion 20. The main extrusion 20 may comprise an internal web 44,46. Adhesive may be used to secure parts of the assembly together. The invention absorbs impact energy in a crash and provides an improved structural load path.
