Abstract: A support device (1) of an engine support structure (2) of a motor vehicle includes at least a support part (4), comprising an upper face (10) and a lower face (12) defining between them a hollow volume (14), and at least one fixation device (8) intended to attach the support part to a vehicle body. The fixation device (8) comprises a fixation part (16) and a base part (18) extending at least partially inside the hollow volume (14) of the support part (4), at least a portion of the upper face (10) and at least a portion of the lower face (12) being applied against at least a portion of the base part (18) on either side of said base part (18. The fixation part (16) and the base part (18) are formed of at least two distinct parts attached together.

Abstract: An energy absorbing device is designed to increase the amount of absorbed energy and control the deformation of the device in case of an impact. The energy absorbing device consists in a hollow longitudinal member extending along a first longitudinal axis and a longitudinal guide extending along a second longitudinal axis, arranged within the longitudinal member and suitable for guiding the deformation of the longitudinal member in case of an impact. The length ratio between the longitudinal guide and the member is comprised between the values of 1/5 and 3/5.
