Abstract

The invention provides an automobile front-end module structure, which belongs to the field of automobiles and comprises a first vertical beam and a second vertical beam which are arranged at an interval, one ends of the first vertical beam and the second vertical beam are connected with the first cross beam, and the other ends are connected with the second cross beam; a protection cross beam is installed between the first cross beam and the second cross beam, and the two ends of the protection cross beam are connected with the first vertical beam and the second vertical beam respectively. The two ends of the first cross beam and the two ends of the second cross beam are bent in the same direction and extend. The two ends of the first cross beam and the two ends of the second cross beam are bent in the same direction and extend to completely surround the cooling module, and enough space and installation operation space are provided for arrangement; during collision, the space of the engine compartment is increased, original parts in the compartment are protected, an energy transmission path is lengthened, and the safety of a driver is also protected.
