ABSTRACT:
In the typical embodiment described in the specification, a rigid frame structure for an end region of a motor vehicle is assembled exclusively from triangles of elements in an octahedral arrangement so as to provide a favorable force-to-travel characteristic in the event of a collision. In the octahedral arrangement, an end triangle of elements forming the end of the vehicle points upward with an apex, and a triangle of elements that is substantially parallel to the end triangle and serves the purpose of mounting to an adjacent vehicle region and has a downwardly pointing apex.
