Abstract

A front grill impact-absorbing structure has a load-transmitting member () which retreats together with a front grill () when a collision force (F) acts on the front grill from the front. By the load-transmitting member retreating together with the front grill, the collision force is transmitted to a water-cooled engine radiator () inside an engine compartment (). In the initial state of the collision, the radiator absorbs the collision force and moderates the collision force.
