A vehicle component with at least two connection points, a structural component that extends between the connection points and rigidly connects them with one another. The structural component comprises at least one insert made of a ductile material and at least two connection zones that support or form the two connection points, at least one of the zones comprises plastic. The structural component comprises at least one intermediate section that connects the two connection zones rigidly to one another and comprises the insert or is formed by the insert, this section is more ductile than at least one of the two connection zones and, in relation to a mechanical overload of the structural component, forms a locally delimited weak-point or region. |

1. A vehicle component comprising:
at least two connection points (2, 3); a structural component (4) that extends from one of the two connection, points (2, 3) to the other of the two connection points and connects the two connection points rigidly to one another, the structural component comprising at least one insert (8) made of a ductile material and at least two connection zones (6, 7) that are integral with the two connection points (2, 3), and at least one of the two connection zones comprising plastic, and the structural component (4) comprising at least one intermediate section (9) connecting the two connection zones (6, 7), the insert (8) defines the intermediate section such that the at least two connection zones are spaced from each other by the intermediate section, a length of the intermediate section, which spans from one of the two connection zones to another of the two connection zones, being shorter than a length of the at least one of the two connection zones comprising plastic, the intermediate section having a greater ductility than a ductility of at least one of the two connection zones (6, 7) such that, in relation to a mechanical overload of the structural component (4), the intermediate section forms a weak-point in the structural component so that when the structural component (4) is subjected to one of a force or a torque resulting in mechanical overloading of the structural component (4), at least the insert (8) inelastically deforms prior to failure of the structural component (4). |
