Abstract
A load transmission member 30, for mounting in a channel (28, Figure 4) of a body structure such as for a vehicle, has an elongate body 32 transmitting a load to the body structure along a non-linear load path, in use. Elongate body 32 has an upper surface, a lower surface and opposing first and second side surfaces extending therebetween, a recess 36a, 36b extending at least partially along a length of the upper and / or lower surface, and a mounting formation 34 for mounting of load transmission member 30 to the channel of the body structure. Elongate body 32 may have a portion with an I-shaped cross-section and a portion with a U-shaped cross-section, which may transition into each other, and may be manufactured by forging. A vehicle body assembly and a vehicle are also provided.
