The invention relates to a structure (SV) fitted to a land vehicle, the structure comprising a front portion having upper arms, each of which comprises front and rear ends, supporting elements (EP2) that are fixedly secured to the rear ends, a transverse stiffener (RT) having first lateral ends (EL12) that are opposite and fixedly secured to the supporting elements (EP2), and two reinforcing parts (PR2) that are shaped so as to be highly resistant to buckling, and are fixedly secured to sub-portions of a carrier element (EP2) and of a first lateral end (EL12) which are associated with one another in order to allow the transmission between supporting elements (EP2) of a portion of a transverse force absorbed by one of them in the event of the front end of the associated upper arm being subjected to an impact.
A structure suitable for being fitted to a land vehicle and comprising a front portion having i) right and left upper arms, each of which comprises front ends and rear ends, ii) right and left supporting elements, to which said rear ends are respectively fixedly secured, and iii) a transverse stiffener having first lateral ends that are opposite and fixedly secured to said supporting elements respectively, wherein the structure further comprises two reinforcing parts, right and left, that are shaped so as to be highly resistant to buckling, and are fixedly secured to sub-portions of a supporting element and first lateral end which are associated with one another in order to allow the transmission between supporting elements of a portion of a transverse force absorbed by one of them in the event of the front end of said associated upper arm being subjected to an impact.
