Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2411633A] The vehicle (2) defines a longitudinal direction and comprises <DL TSIZE=2> <DT>-<DD>a central section (10); <DT>-<DD>a vehicle cabin (12) that is shorter than the central section, the vehicle cabin (12) comprising a collapsible front section (16) that undergoes controlled collapse in case of collision; and at least one rigid section (18) located between the front section (16) and the central section (10), the front section (16) having a lower resistance to deformation than the rigid section (18); <DT>-<DD>at least one dedicated repair interface (14) for removably fixing the vehicle cabin (12) to the central section (10); e.g. by welding or fasteners. </DL> The rigid section (18) has a forward bracing ring also providing a front doorpost (21), a rear doorpost (19) being formed by a reinforced frame member rigidly connected to the interface (14). The interface (14) is provided by a lateral plate, optionally with an access opening to the central section (10). The front section (16) has frame members including an angled member (30) with a deformable bottom end (31), an upper deformable region (42) and a roof with a deformable region (44).
