Bumper lens unit of a vehicle, the bumper lens unit comprising a frame panel; a lens, the lens comprising a composite material which is transparent, the composite material comprising a resin and fibers, in which the refractive index of the resin matches with a refractive index of the fibers, in which nano-particles interphases are arranged around the fibers, a refractive index of the nano-particles interphases is between the refractive index of the resin and the refractive index of the fibers; a structural adhesive, the frame panel and the lens are bonded to each other by the structural adhesive whereby a front wall of the bumper lens unit is flush in the vicinity of a junction between the frame panel and the lens.

The invention relates to a vehicle light unit with a primary light device including a primary light module arranged in a primary housing, a secondary light device including a secondary light module arranged in a secondary housing, a primary part with a first portion and a second portion, the second portion being transparent, a secondary part with a first portion and a second portion, the second portion being transparent, and a logo. One of the primary part or secondary part includes an indexing device to position the primary part or secondary part relative to the other part with one of the primary part or secondary part partially overlapping the other part. The light unit further including a mounting surface for the logo with the mounting surface including an attachment device for attachment to one of the primary part or secondary part.

The invention relates to a front end panel assembly (100) for an electric vehicle (300), the assembly comprising: -an at least partially optically transparent laminate sheet (108) having side edges, comprising an optically transparent thermoplastic substrate and at least one protective layer; -a spacing structure (112) comprising a base (110) and a peripheral upstanding wall (120) extending from the base, wherein the upstanding wall connects to the laminate at or near at least part of the side edges of the laminate, such that a space (122) is formed and enclosed between the laminate sheet and the spacing structure, and wherein the at least one protective layer of the laminate faces away from the spacing structure.

A bumper for a vehicle includes a main body having a central opening formed therein. A pivoting assembly is pivotally connected to the main body. The pivoting assembly includes a light bar having a body and a plurality of lights coupled to the body. The plurality of lights are configured to emit light along an emitting axis. The pivoting assembly additionally includes a cover plate coupled to the body of the light bar. The pivoting assembly is configured to transition between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the cover plate extends within the central opening and the light bar is positioned so that the emitting axis does not extend through the central opening. In the open position, the cover plate is spaced from the central opening and the light bar is position so that the emitting axis extends through the central opening.

A deformation device for attaching to a crossmember of a bumper and for converting impact energy onto a lighting device has at least two deformation elements arranged in series and orientated in the same direction. The deformation device also has a support element which can be secured to a crossmember of a bumper, wherein the at least two deformation elements are secured to the support element. Each deformation element has an unstructured, flat surface and is designed such that the deformation elements buckle due to a force acting in a first direction and bend due to a force acting in a second direction.

A safety system includes a vehicle and a safety device. The safety device includes a first arm and a second arm. The safety device is moveable between a first position and a second position. When the safety device is in the first position, the first arm and the second arm are coupled to the vehicle. When the safety device is in the second position, the safety device is spaced a distance away from the vehicle.

Vehicle bumper assembly including a bumper body, a pair of lamp modules and one or more controllers. The bumper body is configured to be arranged at least partially across one of a front and rear end of the vehicle (not illustrated). The body defines opposed sides. The pair of lamp modules are mounted to the bumper body to be spaced from each other and towards one of the sides. Each lamp module includes one or more light emitting units arranged to extend at least partially across the lamp module. The, or each, controller is configured to operate one or both of the lamp modules to cause the one or more light emitting units to sequentially illuminate to indicate a turn direction of the vehicle.

A molded panel that encompasses all forward surfaces of a vehicle. The molded panel extends from the forward edge from a driver side front wheel opening, laterally across the front of the vehicle and terminating at a forward edge of a passenger side wheel opening. The molded panel extends in the vertical direction (i.e., perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle) from a forward lower edge of a front valance up to a leading edge of one of a hood, a flunk, and a windshield of the vehicle. The molded anel further includes connection flanges formed on a back side surface for connection to a vehicle frame that does not have a front end module and front frame bulk head.
