Disclosed is a wheel carrier for a suspension of a motor vehicle; and a motor vehicle comprising the wheel carrier. In a preferred system, the wheel carrier comprises a first carrier segment configured to carry a wheel of the motor vehicle at a wheel center; and a second carrier segment configured to couple the first carrier segment with a vehicle body of the motor vehicle. The second carrier segment comprises at least one groove, and the first carrier segment comprises for each groove a corresponding sliding pin configured to slidingly engage the respective groove such that the pin slides along the groove under vertical and/or horizontal displacements of the wheel center with respect to the second carrier segment.

Wheel carrier for a suspension of a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a system for deviating part of an external panel of a motor vehicle, during an accident to reduce the impact energy of a person colliding with deviated part of the external panel. The part is displaced in a deviation direction that is opposite to that of an impact direction of the person. The system includes a device for deviating the part. The device is engaged at least at one point on the part and permits a displacement of the part in the impact direction, if a person collides with the part.
