Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a front end of a motor vehicle body having at least one front frame with two longitudinal beams and a crash beam structure. Two crash boxes are fastened between the respective front ends of the side members and the crash beam structure. Background technique
[0002] Use this type of crash box in your car to increase safety. Furthermore, damage to the vehicle's body structure in accidents at lower speeds can be reduced through the use of such crash boxes. For this purpose, the crash box is designed as a deformation body which is installed in the vehicle in such a way that it partially absorbs the resulting crash energy by its deformation when the vehicle hits an obstacle. As a result, the crash box reduces the transmission of crash energy to the body structure, in particular the two vehicle side members, and thus can reduce or completely prevent damage to the body structure.
[0003] Such a vehicle front end with a crash box ...
