Zusammenfassung:	A frame structure for the chassis of a motor vehicle having a construction designed to absorb kinetic energy by plastic deformation of the frame components. The frame has longitudinally extending side rails with fluted lower edges in side elevational view. When an impact load is exerted against the end of the frame assembly, the side rails will collapse by bending at each flute in a progressive manner to absorb the energy of the impact.
