The invention relates to a railway vehicle, wherein the vehicle having a plurality of cars arranged one behind the other longitudinally, wherein each car has a front end articulated to a rear end of the adjacent car; at least one power unit connected to a first of the cars; and a collision energy absorbing assembly, The collision energy absorbing assembly has a first collision energy absorbing system located at the front of the power unit and a second collision energy absorbing system located at the connection between the power unit and the first car.

Collision energy absorbing system concentrated around the VHS power car and first vehicle

A driver cabin for an urban railway vehicle, the driver cabin extending in a longitudinal driving direction and including: a cabin chassis including at least one main shock-absorbing area having a longitudinal extend defined between a front plane oriented transversally to the longitudinal driving direction and a rear plane oriented transversally to the longitudinal driving direction, the main shock-absorbing area being able to deform in case of a shock between an initial state and a shock-absorbed state, so that in the shock-absorbed state the longitudinal extend of the main shock-absorbing area is reduced about a predefined compression distance; an electrical equipment compartment storing at least one stiff electrical element carrying electronic components. The electrical equipment compartment is located inside the main shock-absorbing area.
