Abstract: Structural oil sump for a combustion engine, provided with a top opening and comprising: a single-piece top part made of plastic material including a number of lateral walls peripherally delimiting an internal volume, and at least one transversal part extending inside said internal volume and joining at least two of the lateral walls, the top part extending between a top end defining said top opening and a bottom end defining a bottom opening; a bottom part comprising a bottom and fixed in a sealed manner to the bottom end of the top part; the sump being provided with internal ribs formed integrally with the top part and positioned opposite the bottom.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a support for a motor vehicle light unit that enables the light unit to be mounted displaceably on an equipment module. The support includes a guide for guiding the light unit along a predetermined path relative to the equipment module.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a support (12, 48) for a motor vehicle light unit (10), enabling said light unit (10) to be mounted displaceably on an equipment module (14, 54, 56). The support includes guide means (16, 50, 52) for guiding the light unit (10) along a predetermined path (Y) relative to the equipment module (14, 54, 56).

Abstract: The invention provides a sound-insulating part for a motor vehicle having an engine compartment and, beside the engine compartment, a clearance volume for accommodating vertical travel of a wheel of the vehicle, the part being characterized by the fact that it is arranged to form a sound screen between said engine compartment and said volume. The invention also provides a mudguard constituting such a sound-insulating part and a side module made from such a mudguard.

Abstract: A motor vehicle front end includes at least one upper crossmember (1) capable of supporting the hinges or the catch for the vehicle bonnet, a support piece (2, 3) at each end of the crossmember capable of supporting at least one lighting unit (6) of the vehicle, a lower crossmember (4) extending from one support piece to the other and belonging to a vehicle energy-absorption system, and a cavity located between the two crossmembers and the two support pieces, leaving space for a radiator (12) supported by structure external to the functional front end. The upper crossmember is a hybrid crossmember consisting of a metal alloy section piece reinforced with plastic ribs.

Abstract: Motor vehicle functional front end comprising at least one upper crossmember (2) and, at each end of the upper crossmember, a support piece (3) capable of supporting at least one lighting unit of the vehicle, characterized in that the connection between the upper crossmember and each support piece is provided by one nesting into the other, combined with a possibility of adjustment in a roughly horizontal direction perpendicular to the axis of the vehicle.

Abstract: The invention provides a front-face structure for a motor vehicle, the structure being based on a cooling module (6) having a rigid frame. The front-face structure comprises two end pieces (7) that serve to support at least one functional member of the vehicle, these two end pieces being shaped in such a manner as to extend the cooling module (6) over the entire front face of the vehicle, each occupying a corner of the vehicle.

Abstract: Motor vehicle functional front end particularly comprising an upper crossmember (1). The said crossmember comprises, near to one of the ends of the said crossmember, a point of reference allowing it to be positioned on the vehicle, longitudinally and laterally, with respect to a reference point provided on a front wing of the vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle tailgate for mounting pivotally to a vehicle about hinges situated close to one of the edges of the tailgate. In the vicinity of its hinges, the tailgate is constituted by a main panel secured to the hinges and by a secondary panel which is movable relative to the main panel between a closed position in which it is superposed on the main panel so as to reconstitute a tailgate of full thickness, and an open position in which it is separate from the main panel, the main panel then forming a portion of the tailgate of reduced thickness.
