A reinforced door beam has a hollow shell with an internal localized reinforcement. The localized internal reinforcement is positioned at the midspan of the shell and has a length of less than about one-third of the door beam shell. The localized internal reinforcement includes an inner shell which is spaced apart from the door beam shell by a layer of thermally expanded resin.
