Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2078657A1] The vehicle (1) has two impact absorbing elements (19, 21), which are consecutively arranged in a lower energy absorber plane (11) in a driving direction (7) of the vehicle. An impact absorbing element (27) is provided an upper energy absorber plane (15), and the impact absorbing element (19) is projected over the impact absorbing element (27) at an undeformed condition in the driving direction. Deformation of the impact absorbing element (27) is partially transferred into the impact absorbing element (21). The impact absorbing elements (21, 27) are coupled together by a transmission element.
