A structural component designed to mount the following vehicle systems:

• the front suspension system,

• engine and transmission mounting points,

• stabilizers and control arms.

This component absorbs the forces coming from the engine, transmission, and suspension and transfers them to the vehicle's body. Steering components, control arms, stabilizers, and other parts are directly attached to this beam. This type of construction provides convenience during vehicle assembly, and in case of repair, the entire assembled unit can be removed as a whole.

It reduces the transmission of vibrations from the engine and transmission to the passenger compartment through the chassis, typically by using special rubber bushings. The beam is connected to the vehicle body through vibration dampers or mounting components.

It is usually made of high-strength steel. In some cases, aluminum or composite alloys are used to reduce weight.
