    This research is intended to define the influence of the heat contributed by the welding process of the bus bodywork on the properties of the material and its capacity of resistance to impact, and for this purpose it began with the testing of ASTM A500 steel without welding. Then, the test was carried out with the E6011 electrode central weld and with the ER70S-6 electrode, measuring the deformation with an initial length of 100mm. It can be effectively verified that the welding process does affect the properties of the material. The most affected property was the modulus of elasticity with a change that exceeded 80 percent, which means that the welding process modified the material making it more rigid and brittle due to the change in temperature and the cooling rate. The yield stress of the material in the welded area decreased to 10 percent, which also reduces the safety factor in this area. Following this, the impact simulation of the front of the bus bodywork was modeled and performed by using the results of the tests in the welding area. The simulation results allowed to identify the areas where the greatest stresses occur, these were located in the area of the frontal collision near the welded joints, but not on the welds. The stress in these areas exceeded the maximum yield stress, but the percentage deformations were less than the tests without breaking the structure.
