Pedestrian protector for vehicle bonnets comprises U-shaped edge part as energy-absorbing deformation element surrounding front and side edges of bonnet

摘要

The bonnet (8) is surrounded round the front edge (9) and side edges (10, 11) by a U-shaped edge part (12) to act as an energy-absorbing deformation element in the event of impact with a pedestrian. The deformation elements fit on the walls of the front bodywork surrounding the front and side edges of the bonnet. A flat front end part (20) covering the front of the vehicle body can be used in conjunction with the energy-absorbing edge parts.
