Abstract
A pedestrian protection apparatus for a vehicle including a plate member which is disposed at a lower part of a front of the vehicle so as to extend in a frontward and backward direction of the vehicle. The plate member has a concave portion which is open at the upper surface of the plate member and which is formed in the plate member so as to be positioned more frontward of the vehicle than a radiator. The concave portion includes a non-horizontal bottom portion which provides a non-horizontal inner surface extending in an inclined or curved manner such that a depth thereof is gradually increased toward a rear side of the vehicle, and an outlet hole which is disposed at the concave portion so as to be positioned more rearward of the vehicle than the non-horizontal inner surface.
