Crash Energy Absorption refers to a vehicle's ability to absorb and dissipate the impact forces generated during an accident. This is typically measured by the amount of force that can be absorbed before the vehicle structure collapses or breaks apart, which helps protect occupants from injury in a collision.
Crash energy absorption involves using various design features such as crumple zones, airbags and seat belts to help distribute impact forces over a larger area, reducing their intensity on specific points of contact within the vehicle. This technology is crucial for improving safety during accidents and minimizing injuries to occupants.
