Vehicle body

摘要

A vehicle body has a longitudinal member and a bumper cross-member. Furthermore, the vehicle body has a cantilever, which extends transversely to the longitudinal member along a transverse vehicle axis and is fastened to the longitudinal member in a torque-resistant manner. The cantilever is arranged in such a way that the cantilever protrudes into an intermediate space between a wheel mount and the bumper cross-member.

主权项

1. A vehicle body having a bumper cross member and a wheel mount, comprising:
a longitudinal member, a front end of the longitudinal member being connected with the bumper cross member via a deformation unit arranged between the bumper cross member and the front end of the longitudinal member; and a cantilever support member structured as part of the vehicle body, which extends in essence transversely to the longitudinal member along a transverse axis of the vehicle and which is fastened at a first end in a torque resistant manner directly to the longitudinal member away from the deformation unit, and which is not fastened to another member between the first end and a free end opposite the first end; wherein the free end of the cantilever support member is arranged to protrude into an intermediate space between the wheel mount and the bumper cross member; and wherein, in an event of a frontal collision with a small overlap between an obstacle and the vehicle body, the cantilever support member absorbs energy and introduces the energy into the longitudinal member due to the torque resistant fastening of the cantilever support member directly to the longitudinal member.
