This front-end assembly (4) comprises a front-end module (16), at least one railplate (18A, 18B) adapted to be attached to a rail (14A, 14B) of a motor vehicle chassis, and means for fastening the railplate (18A, 18B) to the front-end module (16), the railplate (18A, 18B) comprising at least one hole for receiving a pin. The fastening means comprise, for the railplate (18A, 18B), at least one locking pin and at least one fastening element, said locking pin being attached to the front-end module (16) and being adapted to be received by said hole, said fastening element including a fastening part which is mechanically linked to said railplate (18A, 18B) and which is movable relative to the railplate (18A, 18B), said fastening part having at least one aperture for receiving said locking pin, and means for locking the front-end module (16) onto said railplate (18A, 18B), said locking means comprising at least one guiding slide, said guiding slide being contiguous with said aperture and being adapted to lock the locking pin, the locking being performed by a rectilinear movement of the fastening part from a first position in which the aperture is aligned with the hole, to a second position in which the guiding slide is aligned with the hole.
A motor vehicle front-end assembly comprising a front-end module, at least one railplate adapted to be attached to a rail of a motor vehicle chassis, the rail extending along a longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle and the at least one railplate extending against an end of the rail in a plan perpendicular to the longitudinal direction between the front-end assembly and the rail, and a fastener for fastening the at least one railplate to the front-end module, the at least one railplate comprising at least one hole configured to receive a pin, wherein the fastener comprises at least one locking pin and at least one fastening element, said at least one locking pin being attached to the front-end module and being adapted to be received by said at least one hole, said at least one locking pin extending along the longitudinal direction, said at least one fastening element including a fastening part which is mechanically linked to said at least one railplate and which is movable relative to the at least one railplate, said fastening part having at least one aperture configured to receive said at least one locking pin, and a locking mechanism configured to lock the front-end module onto said at least one railplate, said locking mechanism comprising at least one guiding slide, said at least one guiding slide being contiguous with said at least one aperture and being adapted to lock the at least one locking pin, the locking being performed by a rectilinear movement of the fastening part from a first position in which the aperture is aligned with the at least one hole, to a second position in which the at least one guiding slide is aligned with the at least one hole.
