What is the function of the bodywork?
Active and passive safety
Explanation
The **bodywork** is a fundamental part of the vehicle whose main function is to **protect the occupants** in the event of an accident.
- The bodywork is the **external metal structure** that covers the vehicle. Along with the chassis, which is the internal structure, it deforms during an accident to absorb the impact and reduce damage to the passengers. This is an example of **passive safety**, which aims to minimize injuries in the event of a collision.
- Although the bodywork also shapes the car, its main purpose is not aesthetic or aerodynamic, but to **protect the people inside the vehicle**.
Therefore, the most important function of the bodywork is to act as a protective shield for the occupants of the vehicle.
