Support frame for use in support frame arrangement for holding drive component of passenger car, has longitudinal beams provided with energy absorption elements that are formed by reinforced fiber plastic material

摘要

The frame (10) has two longitudinal beams (12, 14) spaced from each other in a vehicle transverse direction and made of a metallic material. Two sets of cross beams (16, 18, 20, 22) are connected with each other in a vehicle longitudinal direction. The longitudinal beams are provided with energy absorption elements (38, 40) over a length region (36), where the energy absorption elements are formed by a reinforced fiber plastic material. A retainer is formed by two hollow cross-section regions of the energy absorption elements.
