Body structure for motor vehicle, has body support shortened due to impact load after lifting supportive connection between elongate sections by compression of deformation element that is held between elongate sections of body support

摘要

The structure (10) has a body support (20) collapsible according to length under impact load, and a deformation element (28) held between two elongate sections (24.1, 24.3) of the body support. The elongate sections are connected with each other by a bridge element (24.2). The body support is shortened due to the impact load after lifting supportive connection between the elongate sections by compression of the deformation element. The bridge element is made of a brittle material or cast material, and the deformation element comprises a sheet metal hollow body.
