Abstract
A cowl cross assembly includes a cowl cross bar positioned in the front region of a vehicle body, and a cowl cross half-panel joined to one end of the cowl cross bar. A part of the cowl cross bar made of a steel material is cut, and the cowl cross half-panel made of a plastic material is mounted to the cowl cross bar, thereby reducing the weight and the cost and reinforcing the strength to support the air conditioning equipment. In addition, the cowl cross bar can be easily joined to the cowl cross half-panel to improve the workability.
