Abstract

See full text

The energy-absorption device (5) for a motor vehicle that comprises: a first energy-absorption member (50), in a first plastic material, provided so as to perfectly deform under the effect of an impact of given energy by absorbing a first portion of the energy of said impact; a second energy-absorption member (52), in a second plastic material different from the first plastic material, provided so as to plastically deform under the effect of said impact of given energy by absorbing a second portion of the energy of said impact; the first and second energy-absorption members (50, 52) being conformed so that the energy-absorption device (5) has a total intrusion-resisting force comprised between 75 and 200 kN, at any temperature comprised between −30° C. and 80° C.
