ABSTRACT:
The front end of a forward control vehicle is provided with a rigid bottom cross member supported on the front end of longitudinal members of the vehicle frame and bridging the separation between the two frame A columns. In order to guard against crushing of the passenger compartment during a head-on collision, a rigid upper cross member is provided at a distance above the bottom cross member at a position behind the front panel plate of the vehicle. The upper cross member also extends between the A columns and is connected to them in a force-transmitting manner. At least one diagonal tie at a location distant from the two A columns connects the upper and lower cross members so as to transmit force between them.
