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

吸撞缓冲区


Definition from own experience or research:
在撞击时,用来吸收撞击时的能量、减少座舱承受压力、位于车头与车尾的溃缩区（即变皱区）。

Example sentence(s):
  • 　说到侧面撞击，就顺带提一下前后撞击。既然“侧面撞击保护系统”叫作Side Impact Protect System，那么是不是有一个“前后面撞击保护系统”叫作“Front and Back Impact Protect System”？错！不是这样的。前后面的应该叫作“吸撞缓冲区”——Crumple Zones。“Crumple”这个词儿就是“变皱”的意思，很形象也很准确吧 - Crumple Zones  
  • 安全笼型车箱, 是汽车车体与「鸟笼构造」的连想与运用, 有些类似赛车的钢骨骨架车身。这个概念最早始於1944年, 在汽车工业发展过程中, 於 1966年代又有 Crumple Zones前後吸撞缓冲区的出现, 使车辆的安全性再次提升 - 安全笼型车箱
