ABSTRACT:
A deformable element for a vehicle, particularly a rail vehicle, comprising a profiled part (CR) disposed between two end plates (AC, AP) and having the form of a tubular box, particularly of polygonal cross section for dissipating impact energy in the event of longitudinal compression by plastic deformation, and comprising a guide element (FH) disposed parallel to the longitudinal direction of said profiled part (CR), which guide element is fixed to the end plate (AC) remote from the vehicle and is capable of sliding through a through opening (DL) in the end plate (AP) facing the vehicle, wherein the end plate (AP) facing the vehicle has a through opening (DL) which has a shape which permits contactless sliding of said guide element (FH) in the longitudinal direction and lateral inclination of said guide element relative to the longitudinal direction.
