ABSTRACT:
A front end structure includes a front end panel (400) that is configured as a duct structure for preventing the air introduced from a grille opening (452) from bypassing a condenser (200) and a radiator (100). A fan unit (300) is arranged on the most upstream side portion of the structure. As a result, without the need to provide parts making up a separate duct structure, fresh air flow temperature can be blown in, while at the same time, the air that has passed through the condenser (200) can be prevented from bypassing the radiator (100). Thus, the heat releasing capacity of the condenser (200) and the radiator (100) can be improved while simultaneously preventing leakage between the condenser (200) and the radiator (100) without adding complex structure.
