Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Rail Transportation Contract
German term or phrase: Stirnfront
"Zum Zwecke der Begutachtung von Fahrzeugen nach den beiden vorangehenden Absätzen stellt die ECM die Fahrzeuge am jeweiligen Werkstattstandort oder einer Halle an einem mit Untersuchungsgrube und Dacharbeitsstand ausgestatteten Gleis kostenfrei zur Verfügung. Die ECM hat die Fahrzeuge so bereitzustellen, dass alle Fahrzeugkomponenten (Innenraum, Dach, Unterflur, Seitenbereiche Laufwerk, ***Stirnfronten***) zugänglich sind."

Could this just simply be "facade" or is there a more railroad-specific term? Thanks in advance for your help.
