Abstract: A passenger motor vehicle rear section includes body parts extending adjacent the road surface and an apron which is so constructed that it performs a protective function for traffic participants who follow the vehicle as well as covering body parts and/or aggregates of the passenger motor vehicle and additionally is aerodynamically designed; the apron has the shape of a plate which extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction, is arranged at a distance to the body parts and is secured at the latter.

Abstract: A rear for passenger automobiles of the type having a pivotal hatch inserted in a rear opening of a vehicle body and extending in a smooth flowing line toward the rear and including a window in a transversely extending lower frame adjoining the window, is provided, in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention, with an aerodynamic device on the lower frame of the hatch, the aerodynamic device having sections extended laterally from the hatch along lateral body parts of the vehicle. The laterally extended sections should preferably merge into and terminate at the lateral body parts. Additionally, in hatches where frames are provided extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, ribs are provided extending away from the aerodynamic device, running along the frames, and forming an aerodynamic unit with the aerodynamic device.
