Abstract: A structural components node (9) a crash box connector (14) and a crash extender connector (13) each having a top plate extending in a substantially horizontal plane and allowing to secure directly together the crash extender (7) and the crash box (8). Advantageously, the structural components node (9) can further optionally include connections with a hanger (10) and a front transverse member (11). It is possible to reduce the amount of welding operations needed to assemble the structural components node (9) and to provide a robust structural components node (9) ensuring a high structural strength to the assembly and an efficient cooperation between the lower and middle load paths and between the left and right side of the vehicle in case of a front impact. A process of assembling such a structural components node (9) is also provided.

Abstract: A structural component connected to a structural element is provided. The structural component includes an extension extending in a longitudinal direction between a front end and a rear end, the rear end facing the structural element. The structural component also includes a stop element protruding from a longitudinal wall of the extension. The stop element has a contact surface facing a region of the structural element. When the extension is subject to an impact creating forces in the longitudinal direction, the contact surface comes into contact with the region and transmits a part of the forces created by the impact to the region.
