Vehicle e.g. passenger car, has compensation device whose compensation element is arrangeable for compensating structural weakening part in compensation position and releasing weakening part in releasing position

摘要

The vehicle (100) has a supporting structure (102) i.e. self-supporting car body, whose supporting element (104) is provided with a structural weakening part i.e. indent, such that the supporting structure is selectively deformable in a region of the weakening part when a predetermined load limit is exceeded. A compensation element of a compensation device is arrangeable for compensating the weakening part in a compensation position and releasing the weakening part in a releasing position. The compensation element is designed as a casing, which partially surrounds the supporting element. The supporting element is a longitudinal beam (106), a cross beam (110), a longitudinal strut and/or a transverse strut.
