Thus energy of blow is perceived through the aluminum beam which was inside and two hydraulic shock-absorbers. Shock-absorbers fasten to two easily replaced being deformed elements, so-called shock boxes. At speed to 15 km/h energy of blow is perceived by deformation of shock-absorbers and shock boxes in such a manner that damage of a beam of fastening of the engine is excluded.
