A method for dissipating the kinetic energy during an impact on a glass trim element into a motor vehicle's interior that includes fixation of the glass trim element to a support to provide an assembly that is integrated to motor vehicle's interior body. The support further includes a material with a permanent deformation or not to dissipate the kinetic energy during an impact.

A cockpit module of a purpose built vehicle includes a crash pad, a steering wheel positioned in the crash pad, and a table, accommodated in the crash pad, including an extension structure configured to insert into and withdraw from the crash pad. A portion of the table extends from the crash pad in a rearward direction.

The shock absorber includes: a base portion fixed to the attachment target; a shock absorbing portion having flexibility and attached to the base portion so as to be reversibly switchable between a housed state in which the shock absorbing portion is retracted toward the base portion and a protruding state in which the shock absorbing portion protrudes from the base portion; and a drive unit driving the shock absorbing portion to reversibly switch between the housed state and the protruding state. The drive unit, when operating the shock absorbing portion, at least switches the shock absorbing portion from the housed state to the protruding state.

An instrument panel includes an instrument panel body fixed to a vehicle body, and a cover that covers a space of the instrument panel body from a rear in a front-rear direction of a vehicle and faces an occupant in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The instrument panel body includes a harness holder configured to hold a wire harness arranged in a vehicle width direction. The harness holder extends along the vehicle width direction in the space of the instrument panel body, and includes a fragile portion provided in at least one position in a longitudinal direction of the harness holder. A sectional area of the fragile portion is smaller than a sectional area of the other portion of the harness holder.

Disclosed herein are structures and methods for assembling said structures to provide a glass-based and flush implementation of a display structure for a vehicle-based context. Employing the aspects disclosed herein, an implementer is provided a structure capable of passing head-impact tests, while prevent stray shard creation and providing an aesthetically superior design to convention implementation.

A knee bolster of a glove box for a vehicle is provided. The knee bolster of a glove box increases the stiffness of the front surface of the glove box with which the knees of a passenger may collide when a vehicle collision occurs, and thus restrains the knees of the passenger from rushing into the glove box. The knee bolster of a glove box for a vehicle can reduce the weight of the knee bolster, the production cost thereof, and a number of manufacturing processes compared to the conventional knee bolster for passenger seats.
