Abstract (en)
A front carriage (2) of a train (1) is equipped with an automatic coupler (6), which extends longitudinally (3) and is connected to a load-carrying frame (5) of the front carriage (2); the front carriage (2) is also provided with a front structure (24), which is carried by the frame (5) to absorb energy in case of collision and has a substantially vertical and relatively rigid support plate (16); a first absorber (9) constitutes part of the coupler (6) and is plastically deformable to absorb energy in a first stage during a head-on collision, while second absorbers (27,29) are carried by the support plate (16), project from the front of the support plate (16) and are plastically deformable to absorb energy in a second stage during the collision after the first stage has terminated.
