Abstract
Shock absorbing rectangular boxes (16, 17) are mounted between each one of two structural side beams (14, 15) of a vehicle and a bumper beam (11). The boxes are deep drawn from a steel sheet, and their sidewalls have deformation guides (35) so that the boxes are deformable in a controlled manner during a crash of the vehicle.
