An energy-absorbing impact assembly for an electric vehicle includes a bumper assembly. The bumper assembly includes an elongated center beam that extends laterally from a first end to a second end and longitudinally between a front side and a rear side. The energy-absorbing impact assembly includes a tubular support positioned on the rear side of the elongated center beam. The energy-absorbing impact assembly includes a crash box positioned on the rear side of the elongated center beam. The energy-absorbing impact assembly includes a ring assembly positioned on the rear side of the elongated center beam. The ring assembly includes a ring body and a plurality of struts that extend from the ring body. The bumper assembly, the tubular support, the crash box, or the ring assembly are configured to deform upon impact.

Disclosed are a towing device for a vehicle and a vehicle. The towing device includes a front end portion and a rear end portion connected to the front end portion, where the front end portion is arranged on a rear floor and a rear floor cross member, so as to disperse an external force borne by the front end portion to the rear floor cross member; and the rear end portion includes a connecting seat and a tow hook connected to the connecting seat and extending out towards an exterior of the vehicle, the connecting seat being arranged on a rear anti-collision beam, so as to transmit an external force borne by the rear end portion to longitudinal members by means of the rear anti-collision beam and energy absorption boxes.

A vehicle structure according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a body; a bumper reinforcement disposed at a front or a rear of the body; and a crash box, one end of the crash box being joined to an outer end of the body in a front-rear direction and the other end of the crash box being joined to the bumper reinforcement, in which at least one of the body and the crash box is formed of a resin-coated steel plate, and a resin layer of the resin-coated steel plate is formed on a contact surface between the body and the crash box.

A crash management system (1) for a front or rear part of a vehicle having a longitudinal direction X, a transverse direction Y perpendicular to the longitudinal direction X and a vertical direction Z perpendicular to the longitudinal direction X and to the transverse direction Y, said crash management system (1) having a crash management system length (L.sub.C) along the Y direction and comprising: a cross beam (2) having a cross beam length (L.sub.B) along the Y direction, at least one additional element (3) having an outer face (36) and an inner face (50), wherein the additional element has at least one wall (38) which is connected to said cross beam (2), at least one absorber (4) having an outer face and/or an inner face, characterized in that said cross beam length (L.sub.B) is smaller than said crash management system length (L.sub.C), said cross beam (2) is connected to said absorber (4) through said additional element (3).

A vehicle front structure includes side frames in pairs, a bumper beam, a pair of lower frames, a lower beam, and wheels in pairs. Each of outer end parts of the bumper beam in a vehicle width direction and a corresponding one of outer end parts of the lower beam in the vehicle width direction overlap a corresponding one of the wheels as seen from the vehicle front side. In the vehicle width direction, a position of each of vehicle-width-direction outer ends of the bumper beam and a position of a corresponding one of vehicle-width-direction outer ends of the lower beam substantially coincide with a position of a mounting part of a corresponding one of brake devices that are disposed radially inside the wheels respectively.

A metal shock absorption element having a first metal sheet and a second metal sheet. The first metal sheet is shaped in the form of a longitudinally open metal profile and has a substantially “C”-shaped cross-section. The second metal sheet is shaped in the form of a longitudinally open metal profile and has a substantially “C”-shaped cross section. The second metal sheet is inserted in a first longitudinal channel of the first metal sheet. The second metal sheet is made integral in one single piece with the first metal sheet in a collection of points to create a metal honeycomb structure having a closed cross-section and metal channels.
