Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	There is provided a vehicular impact energy absorption block arrangement adapted to provide impact energy absorption at a region substantially between a first strengthening member (70) and a second strengthening member (60) of a road vehicle (10). The energy absorption block arrangement (180, 190) comprises one or more energy absorber blocks (180, 190) operable to suffer deformation, for example substantially non-elastic deformation, when subject to forces arising from an impact or crash of the vehicle (10), thereby at least partially absorbing said impact energy. The one or more energy absorber blocks (180, 190) are fabricated from expanded plastics material foam, for example expanded polypropylene plastics material foam including pores therein. The pores can be substantially closed; alternatively, the pores can be substantially open.
