Safe protection equipment for all vehicles will significantly reduce the collision force by spring or liquid cylinder when the vehicle bumps to obstacle or two vehicles collide with each other. This equipment can be used on both front and rear of the vehicle. Combination of springs or liquid cylinder with different elasticity can reduce the collision smoothly.

This equipment will protect both vehicles and drivers without changing the current air-bag protection system. It will significantly reduce the damage for serious collision accidents.

This equipment is attached to the vehicle chassis with a pair of pad to pass the reduced collision force to the elastic tire when colliding vehicles are running in straight line. Normally vehicle running in straight line has high speed and the collision force is strong. The elastic tire can reduce the collision force further.

This equipment is attached to the vehicle chassis on bottom, which will bear the collision force reduced by the spring or liquid cylinder. It might require some design change in vehicle chassis.

One option is to add a pad to pass the reduced collision force to the elastic tire when colliding vehicles are running in straight line.

An outrigger is connected to a front end part of an apron upper member, and further, is extended from its connected part up to that area of a front side member which is on its front end side and on its outer side in a vehicle width direction so as to be connected to the front side member. One end part of a connecting support member is connected to a connecting portion between the outrigger and the apron upper member. The connecting support member extends inward in the vehicle width direction in a plan view of a vehicle from its connected part, so as to be connected to the front side member.

To improve the safety of passengers of a motor vehicle and road users in the case of a head-on collision, a deformation element is provided and includes a crossmember holder for mounting to a crossmember and a bumper plate that can be positioned next to a bumper of a motor vehicle. The deformation element is characterized in that a centrifugal force-operated release element for adjusting and locking the distance of the crossmember holder from the bumper plate is provided between the bumper plate and the crossmember holder. A first distance of the bumper plate from the crossmember holder, starting from a normal position, is greater in a first position than a distance in a second position.

A configurable bumper for a vehicle may include a center body, one or more telescoping end assemblies adapted to slide in a direction parallel to the axis of the center body and perpendicular to the axis of vehicle, and a locking mechanism for each telescoping end assembly. The telescoping end assemblies may be secured in at least two different axial positions on the center body. A method for manufacturing a bumper may include forming bumper components in near-net shape by a profile extrusion process and sizing to length.

A front under-run protection assembly for a medium duty truck. The front under-run protection assembly includes a front bar assembly and a support assembly. The support assembly includes a beam and attachment plates. The front bar assembly has a bar positioned under the bumper of the truck and shaped to match the bumper shape. The front bar assembly includes a plurality of strengthening gussets attached to a back side of the bar. The bar assembly is attached to the support assembly which is in turn attached to the frame of the truck.
