Zusammenfassung:A front end (13, figure 1) for a rail vehicle (10, figure 1) the front end (13, figure 1) comprising a deformable structure 30 including a frame 31 movable on a chassis 11 and a mechanical protective device 33 mechanically connecting the frame 31 to the vehicle's chassis 11. The mechanical protective device 22 (not shown) is adapted to break if a predetermined force F is exceeded so that the frame 31 may move on the chassis 11. The predetermined impact force may correspond to an impact speed above 10kn/h. The chassis may include a driver cab structure and a shock absorber system and in that the mechanical protective device mechanically connects the frame to the driver cab structure, or to a shock absorber system.
