AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In a frontal collision, the cooling module and fan are easily damaged, leading to costly repairs and the vehicle becoming undrivable.

Method used

Design a bracket that includes a forward collision box connection device, a cooling module connection device, a rigid arm, and a breakable detachable arm, which avoids direct impact damage by allowing the cooling module to move backward during a collision.

Benefits of technology

Reduce or prevent damage to the cooling module in low-speed frontal impact collisions, lower repair costs, and ensure the vehicle can still be driven normally after a collision, reducing overall damage and repair costs.
