Front end for a motor vehicle

摘要

The invention relates to a front end for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, which has diametrically opposed A pillars (12) in the vehicle transverse direction (y), of which each A pillar (12) is constructed with an internal sheet metal molded part (31) and an external sheet metal molded part (29) which are connected to each other, in particular welded, via edge flange joints (35), the A pillar additionally being connected to at least one tension element (37) whose outer end (39) in the vehicle transverse direction (y) is connected, in particular, to a hinge element (45) mounted on the external sheet metal molded part (29) and whose inner end (43) is connected to the internal sheet metal molded part (31). According to the invention, the inner end (43) of the tension element (37) is fastened between the internal sheet metal molded part (31) of the A pillar (12) and a counter-holder (55) in at least one three-layer structure (57).
