ABSTRACT:
A passenger car is configured with a dashboard installed between a front of the car and a passenger compartment. At least two front longitudinal beams are installed at a distance from each other and are connected to this dashboard, lateral exterior frontwalls, a floor and upright A-columns. In the area of the dashboard, a support structure is provided by means of which the front longitudinal beams are connected to the upright A-columns, the frontwalls, the dashboard and the center tunnel as power transmitters. A support structure with an increased energy absorption potential that can be produced at low costs, and which is provided in the area of the dashboard, is created so that the support structure is realized as a rigid tubular frame which is installed on the dashboard facing the passenger compartment, whereby the tubular frame is connected with at least the dashboard, the A-columns and the subjacent frontwalls.
