Abstract: An auxiliary cross-member structure for supporting elements of a motor-vehicle front suspension includes a metal sheet hollow frame in a form of a hollow shell, with two opposite end portions, for connection of two respective oscillating arms of the suspension. The metal sheet hollow frame is defined by a single metal sheet folded on itself and having portions which are overlapped and welded. In a preferred implementation, within the metal sheet hollow frame is provided an additional filling structure at least partially constituted of synthetic material or composite material incorporating reinforcing fibers. At each end of the auxiliary cross-member structure there are two pairs of holes aligned with each other along two vertical axes which are used both for mounting elastic bushings for connection of a respective oscillating arm, and for the engagement of connecting screws for connecting the auxiliary cross-member structure to the motor-vehicle body.

Abstract: Described herein is a method for rolling metal sheets of variable thickness. The method makes it possible to impress, during rolling, any distribution of areas of increased thickness within a figure corresponding to the plane development of a motor-vehicle component prior to the pressing operation. Impression of the desired distribution of areas of increased thickness envisages simultaneous impression, during rolling, of a further distribution of areas of increased thickness, or compensation areas.

Abstract: A hybrid powertrain unit comprises an engine and a gearbox device with a primary shaft connectable to a shaft of the engine via a clutch device. The gearbox device comprises a secondary shaft with an output pinion meshing with a first crown wheel of a differential, the casing of which is rigidly connected to a casing of the gearbox device. The unit comprises an electric machine configured to operate as an electric motor and as an electric generator, and having a shaft connected by a transmission to a second crown wheel of the differential. In the transmission, arranged between the electric machine shaft and the second crown wheel is an engagement device that can be operated via an electronically controlled actuator. The transmission that connects the electric machine shaft to said second crown wheel includes an auxiliary shift device configured for providing at least two different selectable transmission ratios.

Abstract: A welded joint between at least one metal material element and at least one thermoplastic material element is obtained by pressing the elements against each other while applying heat. Contact surfaces of the metal material, which are in contact with the thermoplastic material, are provided with uneven surface portions having a distribution of asperities. With heat applied, the thermoplastic material fills spaces between these asperities and maintains this configuration after subsequent cooling, thereby improving strength of the joint. The uneven surface portions are obtained in a preliminary forming step of the metal material in a press mould, which is configured with a forming surface for generating the uneven surface portions by mechanical deformation and/or with a device for guiding a laser or electron beam. By this technique, hybrid components are obtained made of one or more elements of metal material between which a shaped component of thermoplastic material is interposed.
