Abstract

A front-end module for supporting heat exchangers in a vehicle includes a U-shaped assembly support having a horizontally extending base and two downward extending sidepieces, and a connecting support having a horizontal web which supports the heat exchangers. The assembly support is fitted over the heat exchangers, and the horizontal web is attached to the ends of the sidepieces so that the heat exchangers are surrounded and held in place.
