Summary:An axially compressible energy absorbing member for a vehicle comprising a thin-walled tube having at least two adjacent, substantially parallel, axially-extending passageways defined by tube walls and separated where they are adjacent by a wall section, wherein the wall section includes one or more apertures of predetermined shape(s) and/or size(s), and wherein the thickness of the tube walls and of the wall section is substantially constant and the same. La présente invention concerne un élément d'absorption d'énergie compressible axialement destiné à un véhicule comprenant un tube à paroi mince présentant au moins deux passages adjacents, sensiblement parallèles et s'étendant axialement délimités par des parois de tube et séparés là où ils sont adjacents par une section de paroi, ladite section de paroi comprenant une ou plusieurs ouvertures de forme(s) et/ou de taille(s) prédéfinie(s), et l'épaisseur des parois du tube et de la section de paroi étant sensiblement constante et identique.
