Title:
VEHICLE FRONT STRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/108080
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A shock absorbing member (20a) for absorbing the shock from the front side of a vehicle during a crash is positioned between an engine (30) and a vehicle front structure positioned on the front side of the engine (30), such as on the front side of the radiator (16). As a consequence, a new path for load is formed between the radiator (16) and the engine (30). Thus, it is possible to reduce the load applied to other sections of the vehicle frame work such as a front side member (12) or a center member (14), and to improve the shock absorption efficiency during a crash.
