The motor vehicle comprising an aerodynamic underbody flap () rotating about a transverse axis () and a lower transverse structure () arranged at the rear of the lower part of a front bumper (). The rear part of the lower transverse structure () comprises guide means () which, in the event of a frontal impact, guide the backward movement of the lower transverse structure () such that the rear face of the lower transverse structure () comes into contact with the axis () of the aerodynamic underbody flap ().

Retractable aerodynamic underbody flap with force absorption by the lower support

The invention provides a retractable aerodynamic system for a motor vehicle including a structure of the vehicle. The system includes at least one aerodynamic flap, a drive mechanism that can rotate the aerodynamic flap about a rotation axis, and at least one member for locking the aerodynamic flap in at least one indexed position with respect to the structure of the vehicle. The locking member is able to transmit forces experienced by the aerodynamic flap to the structure of the vehicle when the aerodynamic flap is locked in the indexed position.

Retractable aerodynamic system for a motor vehicle

Device for admitting cooling air to a motor vehicle interior, formed of one or several mobile flaps, each orientable in rotation about an axis by a control mechanism, each flap includes on its external periphery a pressing surface intended, when the mobile flap is in the closed position, to come into contact with a bearing surface. The pressing surface has a point of first contact and a point of last contact with the said bearing surface, these points being defined in such a way that when the control mechanism actuates closure of the mobile flaps and the point of first contact comes into contact with the said bearing surface, the point of last contact is distant from the said bearing surface by a predefined and non-zero distance.

Flush-mounted air inlet flaps

The invention relates to a rear module for fitting to a motor vehicle, the module comprising a large door for being pivotally mounted about an axis, the large door extending in a direction parallel to said axis between two stiffener uprights both presenting a cross-section of thickness, taken perpendicularly to the door, that is not less than a first thickness, the large door having an opening extending as far as said uprights in the direction parallel to said axis; and a small door mounted on the large door to move between an open position uncovering said opening, and a closed position closing said opening, the small door extending in the direction parallel to the axis between two stiffener uprights both having a cross-section of thickness, taken perpendicularly to the door, that is not less than a second thickness, the uprights of the small door covering the uprights of the large door when the small door is in the closed position. The uprights of the small door and the uprights of the large door are shaped in such a manner as to engage in pairs one in another when said small door is in the closed position so as to present a maximum thickness taken perpendicularly to the door, that is less than the sum of the first and second thicknesses.

Rear module for fitting on a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a rear door for a motor vehicle, the door including hinges (') embodying an axis (Y) for pivoting the door on the vehicle between a closed position and an open position. The door includes a motor () for generating a driving torque about the pivot axis of the door.

The present invention relates to a support for a motor vehicle light unit that enables the light unit to be mounted displaceably on an equipment module. The support includes a guide for guiding the light unit along a predetermined path relative to the equipment module.

Support for a motor vehicle light unit, a light unit, and an assembly comprising a front end module and such a support and/or light unit

A support for bodywork of a vehicle elements is provided that includes means for receiving and fastening optical elements, fastener members for bodywork elements, docking zones for receiving the edges of bodywork elements and for putting them into position relative to the adjacent edges of bodywork elements and optical elements, and a means for positioning and fixing a hood lock. The equipment front face has generally two portions, a structural portion and a geometrical portion, corresponding to the vehicle front block divided into two modules, a structural module integrating various functional members of the vehicle, and a geometrical module integrating the bodywork elements for the front of the vehicle.

Support for motor vehicle bodywork elements, an equipment front face divided into two parts, and a motor vehicle front block divided into two modules

The module is extended to extend the body () of said vehicle by being fastened thereto. It is also designed to support rear doors () and a rear bumper. It comprises a frame of plastics material () including fastener means for fastening to the body and fastener means () to the doors (). It further comprises extenders () for extending side rails () of the vehicle.

Motor vehicle rear module

The motor vehicle fender support comprises a metal core with a top portion provided with fasteners for fastening to a fender. The top portion is provided with ribs arranged to stiffen it in the event of stress being directed in the transverse direction, and to buckle in the event of downwardly-directed impacts, when the fender support is mounted on the vehicle. The metal core also includes openings seeking to reduce its stiffness so as to satisfy predefined deceleration criteria. The fender support also comprises a rigid bottom portion designed to be fastened to the structure of the vehicle.
