摘要

Disclosed is a rail vehicle comprising at least two impact-absorbing posts (RS1, RS2) which are disposed in a front end region (END) and extend vertically to the floor (BOD) of the rail vehicle. According to the invention, a deformable area (KZO) is provided on the front side of the floor (BOD) and each impact-absorbing post (RS1, RS2) is connected to the roof section (DAB) of the rail vehicle via the upper-end region (OE1, OE2) thereof, each impact-absorbing post having, in the respective upper-end region thereof, a predetermined collapsible region (OE1, OE2) where the buckling (SK1, SK2) of said post should occur in the event of a collision.
