A railway vehicle has, located centrally on the end of a car body,a coupling device and at least one shock absorbing device,which has a permanently deformable support element. To achieve an effective protection against under-running in an impact the, individual shock absorbing elements,are parallel to one another underneath a horizontal plane that contains a coupling device

Rail vehicle with an impact absorbing device

An energy-absorbing device, particularly for rolling stock to provide protection therefor when potentially damaging impact occurs, includes first and second tubular elements which are fitted into one another and which are of unlike material.

Energy-absorbing device

A rail vehicle has a longitudinal direction and includes an undercarriage, a crossbeam held against the undercarriage, extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the superstructure and adapted for being seated on a bogie or similar structure. A mechanism is provided for elastically holding the crossbeam to the undercarriage.
