When the notches 233 and 243 are formed at the center of the damaged portion 232 or the auxiliary damaged portion 242 or in contact with the impact portion 231 or the auxiliary impact portion 241, an impact is transmitted to the vehicle. The damaged part 232 or the auxiliary damaged part 242 is separated from the notches 233 and 243. Accordingly, a part of the damaged part 232 or the auxiliary damaged part 242 remaining after the damage is left on the inner surface of the support 220, so that the cooling module 300 moves the inner side of the rubber member 210. Since the cooling module 300 may be damaged due to a collision or scratch when flowing in the front and rear direction, the notch parts 233 and 243 may have the damaged part 232 or the auxiliary damaged part 242 with an inner surface of the support 220. It is preferably formed so as to be adjacent to the portion in contact with.

As described in Embodiments 1 to 3, the front end module carrier 100 according to the present invention has the shock absorbing part 230 and the auxiliary absorbing part 240 connected inward to the support 220. Since the damaged part 232 or the auxiliary damaged part 242 is separated when the impact is applied to the vehicle absorbs the shock to the carrier 100 and the cooling module 300 of the front end module (FEM) There is an advantage that can prevent the breakage.
