Each front crash absorption bracket has a base body (11A; 12A) with an upper end (13 14) connected to a lower end of a respective support element and a rear end (15; 16) arranged below the upper end and being supported against a front part of a respective bracket. Each front crash absorption bracket has a front portion (27; 28) arranged in contact against the front bumper, the front portion being connected to the base body via two curved arms (17, 18; 19, 20) one of the curved arms (17; 19) curving inwards with regard to a center of the heavy goods vehicle, the other one of the curved arms (18; 20) curving downwards.
