Abstract:
A vehicle includes a bumper, a floor and a subframe. The subframe is attached to the floor at a plurality of attachment points and below the bumper. The subframe has a base member extending across the subframe, parallel to the bumper and including a bracket. The bracket has first and second tabs connected by a platform extending from the first and second tabs. The bracket is fixedly attached at the second tab and angled relative to the base member such that the second tab is defined closer to the bumper. Upon loading, the first tab moves in a direction substantially parallel to the base member and the platform is deformed substantially perpendicular to the base member.
