Abstract: A front end module (10) has a cross member (12) that connects to longitudinal members (14) of a motor vehicle frame for carrying away loads from a bumper. An actuating rod (18) can pivot relative to the front wheel (22) due to relative movement of a part of the cross member (12) in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle during a small overlap crash. The actuating rod (18) in the pivoted-out state for rotating the front wheel (24) radially within a wheel rim ring (28) of the rim (22) can be gripped at the rim (22). Damage to the front wheel (24) by plastic deformation of the front end module (10) and by the actuating rod (18) can be avoided to permit satisfactory crash behavior of a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A front end module for covering a front of a front vehicle part of a motor vehicle includes a crossmember that is connectable to longitudinal carriers of a motor vehicle frame so as to absorb loads of a bumper. An upper frame element is connected to the crossmember for supporting an engine hood. A receiving region for receiving a radiator grill is disposed between the crossmember and the upper frame element. Fastening elements disposed on the crossmember and/or the upper frame element are configured to fasten an intercooler for cooling charge air of a turbocharger, with respect to the driving direction, in front of a wheel arch that receives a front wheel. A crash structure is connected to the fastening elements for absorbing impact energy by way of plastic deformation and covers a majority of the front wheel in an installed state of the front end module.

Abstract: A door impact beam for a door of a motor vehicle includes a first fastening portion configured to be fastened to a first fastening intersection of the door and a second fastening portion configured to be fastened to a second fastening intersection of the door. A profiled portion extends between the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion. The profiled portion is designed at least in sections as a hollow profile with two side walls disposed opposite to each other and two connecting walls disposed opposite to each other which connect the side walls to each other. The connecting walls have an outwardly directed convex curvature.

Abstract: A motor vehicle rear end has left and right longitudinal beams (12, 14) forming load-bearing structures of the vehicle, and a receiving housing (18) is between the left and right longitudinal beams (12, 14) for accommodating a traction battery. The receiving housing (18) has left and right side walls (22, 24) and a central wall (26) running in a forward direction of travel. An impact profile (26) is connected to the longitudinal beams (12, 14) at the level of the receiving housing (18) and absorbs impact energy in the event of a rear-end crash. The impact profile (26) has a left and right predetermined buckling points (36, 38) that enable the impact profile (26) to buckle toward the receiving housing (18) in a rear-end crash. The impact profile (26) that buckles in a rear-end crash strikes the receiving housing (18) along the longitudinal extent of the central wall (25).

Abstract: A protective arrangement for safety-relevant parts of a motor vehicle that are arranged in a supporting structure. The protective arrangement is provided between the safety-relevant part and the closest bumper. The protective arrangement has at least one protective element that is arched in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle toward the outside of the motor vehicle. The protective element is mounted directly or indirectly on the supporting structure via bearings that are configured such that a bearing action acts only in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: Front longitudinal members (11) of a vehicle (10) extend forward from a passenger cell (12) and partially bound an engine compartment (13), in which a drive unit (14) is positioned. A deflection device (17) has deflection elements (18) fastened to the front longitudinal members (11) for rotation about vertical axes (24). In the event of a partially overlapping frontal collision with a barrier, the deflection element (18) is rotated by the collision from an inoperative position in which the deflection element extends in the longitudinal direction of the respective front longitudinal member (11), into a collision position where a first portion (19) of the deflection element (18) projects into the engine compartment (13). Thus, a longitudinal pulse from the frontal collision acting toward the passenger cell (12) is at least partially converted by the deflection element (18) into a transverse pulse acting on the drive unit (14).
