Front end assembly for a motor vehicle

Abstract

A front end assembly for a motor vehicle has improved load absorption for forces acting on the front of the front end assembly. The front end assembly has at least one impact-absorbing crossbeam; at least one support beam which can be arranged vertically on the motor vehicle and towards the rear of the impact absorbing crossbeam, can be secured to a motor longitudinal support of the motor vehicle, and has at least one upper end portion that can be arranged at least partly above the motor longitudinal support. At least one support strut extends rearwards and downwards from the impact-absorbing crossbeam and via which the forces acting on the front of the impact-absorbing crossbeam can be partly transmitted to a front axle support of the motor vehicle. At least one deformation element can be arranged at least partly geodetically higher than the impact-absorbing crossbeam and in front of the upper end portion of the support beam at least partly on the front side, and is supported at least partly rearwards against the upper end portion of the support beam at least while deforming.
