Abstract: A bench for a utility automotive vehicle, adapted to be installed transversely, in the front of a utility automotive vehicle, wherein the bench has a seat bottom framework and a seatback framework. The seat bottom framework comprises two lateral side plates, a first crosspiece and a second crosspiece with the first and second crosspieces each being fixed to each side plate. The seatback framework comprises at least two risers near the first crosspiece. Each riser is fixed to a respective side plate of the seat bottom framework such that in case of impact, the two risers come into contact with the first crosspiece in order to limit the deformation of the bench.
