Abstract
A motor vehicle front end and a method for producing a motor vehicle front end are provided in accordance with embodiments of the invention. The motor vehicle front end has a front wall and the front wall girder, the front wall girder essentially being situated in the direction of a vehicle transverse axis. In addition, the motor vehicle front end has a first front wall girder, the first front wall girder being situated essentially in the direction of a vehicle vertical axis. The first front wall girder is supported on the front wall crossbeam in a first area of the front wall crossbeam.
Claims15
A motor vehicle front end, comprising:
- a front wall crossbeam situated essentially in a first direction of a vehicle transverse axis;
- and
- a first front wall girder situated essentially in a second direction of a vehicle vertical axis and supported on the front wall crossbeam in a first area, wherein a reinforcement element is situated in the first area of the front wall crossbeam, and wherein a rigidity of the reinforcement element is adapted to a requirement with respect to a deceleration pulse or a front wall penetration during a frontal impact.
A method for producing a motor vehicle front end, comprising:
- producing a front wall;
- producing a front wall crossbeam;
- situating the front wall crossbeam essentially in a first direction of a vehicle transverse axis;
- producing a first front wall girder;
- and
- situating the first front wall girder essentially in a second direction of a vehicle vertical axis, the first front wall girder being supported on the front wall crossbeam in a first area of the front wall crossbeam, wherein a reinforcement element is situated in the first area of the front wall crossbeam, the reinforcement element selected in such a manner that a rigidity of the reinforcement element is adapted to a requirement with respect to a front wall penetration during a frontal impact.
