English term or phrase: crumple zones
Definition from Right Solution, Inc.:
Crumple Zones are sections of the front and rear of a vehicle that are designed to crumple during a crash so as to take as much energy as possible and keep the vehicle's occupants protected.

Example sentence(s):
  • Crumple zones yield during a crash, changing energy from the crash, into heat and sound, which in turn reduces the chances that the passengers in the car will be hurt. Crumple Zones
  • When used in crumple zones, lightweight plastic components can help absorb energy and save vehicle weight at the same time. American Chemistry Council
  • The downside to modern "soft design" crumple zones is that they allow more damage to occur to a vehicle even when the collision is relatively minor and of no major threat to the safety of the occupants, thereby increasing repair costs. Autotropolis

zone de absorbtie a impactului


Definition from Mediauno:
Masinile puternice au nevoie de sisteme de siguranta puternice. XK beneficiaza de o gama larga de tehnologii de siguranta si securitate. Acestea includ senzori de ocupare, pretensionare pentru centurile de siguranta, sisteme avansate de protectie impotriva impactului lateral, zone de absorbtie a impactului si faruri de stop puternice

Example sentence(s):
  • Ford a reusit asta printr-o constructie atenta a sasiului, centuri speciale pretensionate, sase airbaguri (standard), si prin folosirea a tot felul de materiale moi si zone de absorbtie a impactului in partea din fata, pentru protectia pietonilor. - MotorPlay

Notes to answerer
philgoddard It has to be Vorspiel, or something else, since there's no noun Verspiel as far as I can see. It sounds from the context like it means warning. Do you have any idea what dI means?

Kaportnoy Ya I think it is Vorspiel too. Not sure about the dI, but perhaps some kind of unit?

Ah, that makes sense! Thank you! My head is going crazy with all this military terminology ... 60 pages of it!

Thanks everyone!

Thank you!
