Abstract: A structural air guide configured to be built into a front of a vehicle in an engine compartment of the vehicle. The air guide forms a substantially rectangular structure including a front surface, a rear surface, and an upper edge, and the structure including at least one built-in radiator and a mechanism securing the radiator to the structure of the vehicle. The rear surface forms a housing for receiving a cooling module including at least the radiator, the module including a sealing mechanism that co-operates with the housing. The upper edge includes at least one zone for securing equipment of the technical front surface. The housing for the cooling module, which is located behind the structural air guide, can receive the module in one of at least two positions, namely forward or rearward.

Abstract: A device for cooling a radiator, including an air guide attached to structural portions of a vehicle and a device having movable air-blocking flaps, the air guide includes at least two separate portions: a front portion and a rear portion, respectively, which include a mechanism for mutual attachment, the rear portion being attached to the structural portions and including a receiving area configured to receive the device having blocking flaps, the entire assembly being held in place by an attachment mechanism of the front portion onto the rear portion.

Abstract: An arrangement for mounting a substantially vertical mechanical element, as a technical front surface, on a structural transverse element of bodywork of a vehicle such as an upper crossbar, the mechanical element including at least one substantially horizontal portion or structural nozzle bearing on an upper surface of the crossbar. The arrangement includes at least one carrier plate for the mechanical element which is slid under the bodywork of the vehicle and then mounted vertically. The plate includes a yoke for receiving the vertical mechanical element and which is capable of holding the element between at least one vertical position inclined towards the front and a vertical position.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an underbody structure element, a technical front panel, and at least one body shell structure element. The technical front panel includes a central part carrying vehicle cooling elements, opposed parts fixed to opposite vertical edges of the central part, and a top cross member including a top edge. One end of the body shell structure element includes two opposed rails extending along a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and two opposed parts that accept the technical front panel. The technical front panel pivots about a transverse axis of the vehicle on the underbody structure element when being mounted to the body shell structure element. The technical front panel is separated from the underbody structure element when fully mounted to the body shell structure element.

Abstract: A method for mounting, on a motor vehicle, underbody elements and a technical front surface designed to be mounted at one end of a front structural element of the vehicle including side-members. The technical front surface is positioned on one of the underbody elements; the technical front surface is pivoted about a transverse axis from a position wherein it extends substantially transversely to a position wherein it is titled forward; the underbody elements and the tilted technical front surface are moved vertically downwards up to the vehicle; and the technical front surface is folded down from its tilted position to its normal position wherein it is opposite the structural element of the vehicle.

Abstract: An arrangement for mounting a heat exchanger on a vertical structural element forming a motor vehicle front end panel. The heat exchanger includes a mechanism attaching it to the structural element that are formed by fingers, and the structural element includes housings respectively capable of engaging with the fingers. A locking mechanism is capable of at least longitudinally immobilizing the heat exchanger so as to lock it in a final vertical position corresponding to its use position.

Abstract: A method for mounting on a motor vehicle at least one transverse understructure member and a technical front panel to be mounted at a longitudinal end of a frame structural member including two transversely opposite rails and two transversely opposite portions of the frame structural member, in particular hinging members for holding the vehicle headlights. The method includes placing the technical front panel in a vertical position on the transversely opposite portions of the frame structural member, and transversely positioning the technical front panel on the portions.
