A hood for a motor vehicle includes a framework base having a length extension along a first axis and a width extension along a second axis, a first covering panel fixed to the framework base so as to cover a first end of the framework base along the first axis over the entire width extension, a second covering panel fixed to the framework base so as to cover a second end of the framework base over the entire width extension, wherein the first and the second covering panel leave an intermediate portion of the framework base between the first and the second end, according to the first axis, uncovered.

A hood for a motor vehicle includes a framework base having a length extension along a first axis and a width extension along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis, a covering panel for at least partially covering a portion of the framework base, and fixing means for fixing the covering panel to said portion, such that the covering panel at least partially covers the portion, the fixing means being provided with a base element carried by the covering panel in a fixed position relative to the covering panel, and a register element coupled to the base element in a movable manner along a third axis transverse to a plane comprising the first and the second axis, wherein the register element has an end that is farther from the base element along the third axis and faces the framework base, the end being adapted to abut against the framework base along the third axis.

Techniques for providing universal interfaces between parts of a transport structure are disclosed. In one aspect of the disclosure, an apparatus for joining first and second parts of a transport structure includes an additively manufactured body having first and second surfaces. The first surface may connect to a first part such as, for example, a panel. The second surface may include a fitting for mating with a complementary fitting on a second part.

The present disclosure relates to a body and doors protection assembly for a vehicle, a hood assembly comprising such a body and doors protection assembly, a vehicle comprising such a hood assembly and a manufacturing method for such a body and doors protection assembly.

The body and doors protection assembly comprises a first protecting member, a second protecting member and a sliding member. The first protecting member is attachable on an inner surface of a vehicle hood at a rear edge of the vehicle hood. The second protecting member is attachable in a front side portion of a vehicle body facing the rear edge of the vehicle hood in a closed position of the vehicle hood. The sliding member is at least partially enclosed in the second protecting member and configured to contact the first protecting member in the closed position of the vehicle hood. The sliding member is movable in a lateral direction relative to the vehicle hood in the closed position of the vehicle hood.

There are provided a cowl provided to support a front windshield in an inclined state where a rear side of the front windshield is located at a higher level than a front side of the front windshield and forming a lower edge of an opening portion for arranging the front windshield and a bonnet provided in front of and above the cowl. An upper portion of the cowl comprises a first face portion to which the front windshield adheres and an inclined second face portion which extends obliquely rearwardly-and-downwardly from the first face portion, and a front end of the first face portion is positioned on a rearward side, in a vehicle longitudinal direction, of a rear end of the bonnet.

A front vehicle-body structure of a vehicle ensures good vehicle appearance and ease in operating a bonnet without increasing the vehicle body weight. The front vehicle-body structure includes a bonnet including outer and inner panels, a hinge supporting the bonnet such that the bonnet can open and close, and a damper member urging the bonnet. The inner panel includes front and rear frame portions, and a pair of side frame portions respectively connecting left and right ends of the front and rear frame portions and each including a hinge mounting portion and a damper mounting portion for mounting the damper member frontward of the hinge mounting portion. The side frame portion includes a convex first bead portion formed partially in a curved shape between the hinge mounting portion and the damper mounting portion and extending back and forth from the hinge mounting portion to the damper mounting portion.
