Abstract

A front-end structure for a motor vehicle includes two first bodyshell parts spaced apart from each other in the transverse direction of the vehicle for a self-supporting body of the motor vehicle, and includes a bulkhead in the form of a second bodyshell part for the self-supporting body. At least one assembly carrier forwardly overlaps at least a partial region of the bulkhead in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and is in the form of a third bodyshell part for the body, and via which the two first bodyshell parts are connected to each another. A carrier element is formed separately from the assembly carrier and separately from the first bodyshell parts, and is mounted on the assembly carrier in a vibration-damped manner via bearing elements and on which at least one component for the motor vehicle, which component is formed separately from the bodyshell parts, separately from the carrier element and separately from the bearing elements, is held.
