Abstract
A crash energy absorbing element for use in a vehicle has a box beam shape and comprises, in cross section, a high strength support section and a lower strength absorbing section. The high strength support section is adapted to be attached to the body of the vehicle, and the lower strength absorbing section is positioned so as to face away from the vehicle. The box beam shaped element can be made by hydroforming of a tube that is formed of a blank of at least two different sheet parts welded together which form the support section and the crash absorbing section.
