ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to bracing of vehicle body structures that are deformed with absorption of energy upon collision wherein a resiliently front mounted engine of a motor vehicle has connected thereto a longitudinally extending tension band fastened to the vehicle body structure laterally adjacent to the engine which tension band is extended upon collision and wherein the bracing function of the front engine is largely independent of the course of deformation of the car front in the case of a frontal collision, and wherein the tension band is constructed as a flexible traction cable at least along a part of its length and wherein along its length it is provided with a stress absorbing means for the absorption of forces after an intended partial deformation of the vehicle body structure associated with it.
