Abstract

The vehicle has center pillar posts (39) arranged with respect to a longitudinal axis of a vehicle and partially intermediate of a passenger compartment (4). The posts are moveable with respect to a fixed structure of a vehicle between a deployed position in which the posts are arranged in upper position, and a retracted position in which the posts are in lower position that is lower than a structural panel (47) of lateral doors.
