Abstract

A module carrier incorporating components of a cooling system has a frame structure with frames provided on upper and lower sides thereof and a pair of stays supporting both side ends of the frames. Two fitting faces formed on each of the stays are fixed onto a front edge and a member bracket of a front side member. A pair of the front side members are provided on both sides in a widthwise direction of a vehicle. A lower frame is supported against the front side member by a truss structure provided in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. If an impact load is applied from the front side of the vehicle body to the lower frame, it is possible to receive such impact load securely and to generate a reactive force. Therefore, if a leg of a pedestrian collides from the frontside of the vehicle body, such reactive force is effective for scooping up a lower leg for protection.
