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 sentences:
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)

deformasjonssoner
Ett ofte oversett aspekt ved deformasjonssonene er at de 'tillater' langt mer omfattende skader på bilen, som på grunn av ulike ståltyper med spesifikke egenskaper blir vanskeligere å reparere tilbake til original stand.
Definition from
own experience or research:
Deformasjonssonene er bilens ytre ekstremiteter, som er designet og konstruert for å oppta kinetisk energi i et sammenstøt, og redusere G-kreftene som virker på de kjørende.
Example sentences:
Under en kollisjon vil lastebilen ofte presse en personbil i en dødsfelle. For å unngå dette og for å maksimere effekten av personbilens deformasjonssoner, har Volvo utviklet FUPS (underkjøringsbeskyttelse foran). (Volvo Trucks)
