An air guide for a motor vehicle includes: at least one downstream main duct intended to be positioned in front of a heat exchange device of the motor vehicle; and at least one air inlet upstream duct configured to be connected to an air inlet, the at least one air inlet upstream duct being connected to the downstream main duct in order to guide the air from the air inlet towards the heat exchange device. The air guide is made as a single piece.

Air guide and air guide module

The invention concerns a structure for a motor vehicle front end, comprising a crossmember and at least one column () rigidly connected to the crossmember, the crossmember extending longitudinally in a so-called main direction, characterised in that said at least one column () comprises a first set () of reinforcing ribs () on at least a portion () of an outer surface of said at least one column (), each reinforcing rib () extending in a direction (D) parallel to the main direction of the crossmember.

Structure for a motor vehicle front end

The invention relates to an air guide for a motor vehicle comprising at least one downstream main duct () intended to be positioned in front of a heat exchange device () of the motor vehicle () and at least one air inlet upstream duct () intended to be connected to an air inlet (), the at least one air inlet upstream duct () being connected to the downstream main duct () to guide the air from the air inlet () toward the heat exchange device (), characterized in that the air guide is made as a single piece.

The present invention relates to a motor vehicle facade module () comprising a support piece () comprising: &#x2014;a first part () comprising an upper crossmember () having a first reinforcement (), &#x2014;a second part () made of plastic and comprising: lateral uprights (), and at least two portions () configured for assembly with the first part (), the at least one portion () comprising a second reinforcement ().

Motor vehicle fa&#xe7;ade module

An assembly comprises a framework, which is intended to be located on the front face of a motor vehicle, and a bracket. The assembly includes a device for positioning the bracket on the framework and the bracket includes a securing device for supporting an actuator that is capable of driving one or more members to be mounted onto the framework.

Assembly comprising a motor vehicle front surface frame element and a bracket intended to support an actuator

A front-end module for a vehicle, particularly a motor vehicle, includes a support frame () and at least one flange () for coupling the support frame () to a chassis of the vehicle, the flange () being configured so as to enable the free positioning of the module relative to the chassis within a plane orthogonal to a direction X of movement of the vehicle, as well as the attachment of the module onto the chassis in accordance with the positioning, the flange () and the support frame () being mutually configured so as to be attached to each other while enabling the movement of one relative to the other in the direction X in the event of impact.

Front-end module for a vehicle, particularly a motor vehicle

A motor vehicle front face of the metal/plastic composite type, comprising at least one metal insert () over which a first plastic part () is overmolded and at least one metal element () produced by hydroforming over which a second plastic part () is overmolded.

Motor vehicle front face of the metal/plastic composite type

The invention relates to a facia panel for allowing an inflated airbag to pass through. In accordance with the invention, a composite finished part includes a support element made of plastic and having a reduced thickness in comparison to its other dimensions, and a connecting sheet joined to the support element and not extending over the whole surface of the support element. The part presents a special zone which forms a door for an airbag and is designed to make it possible to create a passageway for the airbag. The zone is delimited by a periphery constituted by an embrittled portion presenting two extremities and by an articulating portion which defines, between the two extremities, a articulation axis overlapped by the connecting sheet. The connecting sheet is present over the greater part of the special zone present, along at least the major part of the embrittled portion end on either side of the embrittled portion, and encompassed in the support element.

Method for producing a finished part comprising a zone designed to allow a passageway to be created, and finished part and assembly thereby produced

The invention relates to a front panel of a motor vehicle comprising a bumper beam and at least one heat exchanger. This heat exchanger () is located below the bumper beam () with a substantially vertical orientation and comprises, in a horizontal plane, an upper face having a shape similar to the shape of the bumper beam () such that the upper face is covered by the bumper beam ().

Front panel of a motor vehicle comprising a bumper beam

The invention relates in particular to a facia panel designed to make it possible for an airbag to pass through it at the time the airbag is inflated. In accordance with the invention, the part includes a plastic support element ( ) having a reduced thickness in comparison to its other dimensions; a connecting sheet ( ) joined to the support element; the part presenting a special zone ( ) which forms a door and is designed to make it possible to create a passageway, the zone being delimited by a periphery constituted by an embrittled portion ( ) presenting two extremities of an articulating portion which defines, between the two extremities, an articulation axis overlapped by the sheet; along at least the major part of the embrittled portion, the sheet is present on either side of the embrittled portion; and the sheet is present over the greater part of the special zone.
