Impact kinetic energy absorption device for vehicle has deformation body in form of active crash element

摘要

The impact kinetic energy absorption device includes at least one plastically deformable deformation body built into the bodywork at a clearance from the wheel. The deformation body is in the form of an active crash element (1). In the event of a crash, it moves from rest position (1A) toward the wheel (13) into the deformation position (1B), eliminating the clearance between the wheel and the bodywork.
