The forward bumper is executed in such a manner that it maintains without damages a head-on collision at speed to 4 km/hour. Thus energy of blow is perceived through an aluminium beam being inside and two hydraulic shock-absorbers. Shock-absorbers fasten to two easily replaced deformed elements, so-called shock боксам. At speed to 15 km/hour energy of blow is perceived by deformation of shock-absorbers and shock боксов in such a manner that damage of a beam of fastening of the engine is excluded.
