ABSTRACT:
A scuttle structure for a drive unit of a motor vehicle is disclosed which includes a scuttle for the drive unit which is displaced to the rear in the event of a head-on collision. A slide-down aid is fastened to the scuttle in such a way that, after shearing stress caused by a head-on collision, at least part of the slide-down aid slides down on the scuttle. By means of this scuttle structure, an intrusion of parts of the drive unit into the scuttle is prevented and the sliding-down action of the drive unit on the scuttle structure is assisted.
