Reinforced safety cage body structure with over 62% use of High-Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) Steel with ultra high-strength steel in the B-pillars and rocker panels.

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class is a rigid uni-body structure that encircles the passenger cabin in a highly protective network of ultra-high and high-strength steel, magnesium reinforcements and triple-layer construction of all eight roof pillars. Advanced crumple zones and subframe-mounting of the axles help to divert impact forces away from the passenger compartment.

Here is a quick look at the body structure of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550. The body is made from aluminum and ultra-high-strength steel helps the body structure offer strength.

Advanced body structure: The uni-body construction of the R-Class uses advanced technology and robust materials to create a virtual fortress for the vehicles’ passengers. High Strength/Low Alloy steel is used in strategic areas and accounts for more than 60% of ...

The uni-body construction of the GL-Class SUV uses advanced technology and robust materials to create a virtual fortress for the vehicles' passengers. High- Strength/Low-Alloy steel is used in important areas of the vehicle. Roof pillars employ three layers of steel, and doors feature steel crossbeams. Full-width front and rear crossmembers, along with a reinforced floorpan and door sills, combine to provide protection in a variety of impacts. Advanced front and rear crumple zones progressively deform to help absorb the energy of an impact, while underhood components are staggered to help prevent them from stacking up in a frontal impact, thereby reducing the likelihood of intrusion into the cabin. An ellipsoidal front bulkhead helps channel some of the forces of a frontal impact under, over and around the passenger cabin.

If you clicked this the title of this post and were expecting pictures of Mercedes Benz cars blown to pieces than accept my sincere apologizes. An exploded view is a diagram, picture or technical drawing of an object, that shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. Below are several "exploded" pictures of with the sheet metal removed.

The Mercedes Benz E‑Class body structures utilize ultra-high-strength steel in critical areas to expertly manage both weight and impact forces. Wagons integrate an elaborate network of reinforcements to provide a generous crumple zone even with three rows of seating.

Most of know all the names for the new steel used in the body structures of vehicle. Well, I'll add one to the list, Mega high Strength Steel (MHSS). Leave up to the safety kings of vehicle, Mercedes Benz to add this material to the list.

The chances of running across a 2011 Mercede-Benz SLS AMG involved in a MVA are slim.  But I believe in covering every vehicle, plus it would be a rush to cut up a $200K-$250K car. The body structure is made of 45 ...
