摘要

The motor vehicle door (10) has a front edge (11) facing a pillar (14) with a door lock. The front edge has a absorption element (12) to receive impact energy in an accident. The absorption element can be a honeycomb material (20) with its front face engaging the front edge of the vehicle door. One edge of the element can extend under the door covering.
