Abstract

In order to reduce the severity of injuries to pedestrians and cyclists, the sheetmetal contact zones of Mercedes- Benz cars are constructed of a yielding, smooth- surfaced design. Unfortunately, contradictory demands are made on some components. The bumpers of recently developed Mercedes- Benz cars offer a high degree of pedestrian protection since they are faced with rigid foam.
