Abstract
A transverse-member module for a front or rear end of a motor vehicle has a box-shaped flexible member from which protrude two deformation units which are spaced apart and parallel to each other and are intended for connection to a respective longitudinal member of a body-supporting structure of the motor vehicle. The flexible member is formed by two vertical profiles arranged spaced apart and parallel one behind the other in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and by at least two horizontal profiles which extend between the vertical profiles and are arranged spaced apart and parallel one above another in the vertical direction of the vehicle, the horizontal profiles being of structurally identical design.
