Fender with Pedestrian Head-Impact Absorber

This front fender features special energy-absorbing structures that help protect pedestrian head-impact in the event of collision.  Such a structure is usually made of steel and assembled separately between the side member and the fender, but has been integrated in the fender design in this instance.  Despite the injection-molded part’s thin part wall and deeply shaped design, it maintains precise gap and flush management.  By eliminating steel, 3 kg of weight was saved.
