Abstract:
1. A front module for a motor vehicle comprising: two longitudinal members arranged one on either side, a bumper support which sits in front of the two longitudinal members and is connected to respective front ends of the longitudinal members with the interconnection of a respective deformation element, a radiator frame arranged between the longitudinal members and between the deformation members that supports a cooling assembly, which includes a distributor box, and one or more contact blocks coupled to the distributor box and aligned with the bumper support, wherein, in the event of a collision, the bumper support first of all, in a first deformation stage after the deformation of the deformation element or of the deformation elements, comes to bear against the radiator frame, wherein the radiator frame can then be displaced for a limited distance to the rear in the direction of the passenger compartment, and wherein, after displacement or deformation of the radiator frame in a second stage, the bumper support comes to bear against at least one point of the cooling assembly in order to displace the latter to the rear in the direction of the passenger compartment.
