The component i.e. crashbox, has interior and external components (2, 3) that are telescope-like and movable relative to each other, where the component is extendable from a locked rest condition into a locked activated condition (A) by a control unit e.g. spring (5) such as coil spring. The interior and external components are designed in rectangular shape in respective cross section. The interior component is formed as a multi-chamber hollow profile made of aluminum alloy. A locking nose (8) is welded to the interior component, and is engaged at a locking device in the activated condition.
