Boron Extrication An in-depth look into vehicle extrication and rescues involving today's automobiles
The content of ultra high-strength boron steel in the New 2010 Ford Taurus is no widely known. However, the B-pillar features ultra high-strength boron steel for added side impact protection. Another important feature to note about the body structure of the Taurus is the Side Protection And Cabin Enhancement (SPACE™). This architecture is comprised of a hydroformed cross-car beam embedded in the floor between the door frames, providing additional strength in the side of the vehicle. In the event of a side impact, the beam helps divert crash forces away from the occupants. A strong roof cross member and side impact door beams work with the floor-mounted tube to further improve side impact protection. Just remember to have this information in the back of your head if you need to roll a dash or take the roof.
