Zusammenfassung:Connecting structure providing the connection between the forward structure of the body shell of a motor vehicle and the understructure of this vehicle, comprising a tunnel longitudinal girder (3) extending under the body shell of the vehicle and, on each side of this longitudinal girder (3), an understructure longitudinal girder (2) and an underbody longitudinal girder (4) extending between the tunnel longitudinal girder (3) and the understructure longitudinal girder (2), the front of the underbody longitudinal girder (4) being connected respectively to the front of the understructure longitudinal girder (2) and to the front of the tunnel longitudinal girder (3) by two transverse elements (5, 6), characterized in that each of the two transverse elements (5, 6) is made up of a pressed steel or aluminium sheet metal plate one of the two opposite ends of which comprises a bent part (5a, 6a) which presses against a lateral face (4c) of the underbody longitudinal girder (4) and the edge of which is folded over toward the underside (4d) of this longitudinal girder (4) in order partially to cover this face (4d).
