AUTOMOBILE VEHICLE

摘要

Vehicle having a passenger compartment constituted by a rigid unit, a relatively more deformable front part and rear part. There is provided in front of each front wheel and/or at the rear of each rear wheel a shoe which is located substantially mid-way of the height of the wheel and substantially in a longitudinal plane containing the wheel. The shoe is designed to deform plastically under the effect of a predetermined violent shock to absorb a part of the energy involved in the shock.
