Zusammenfassung:	An energy management system for a vehicle which includes a bumper beam and at least one crush can made from composite materials. The crush can includes a plurality of portions, some portions are frangible and at least one is non-frangible. Bumper beam fixing apertures and vehicle fixing apertures pass through the non-frangible portion such that the crush can is connectable to the bumper beam and the vehicle via fixings which pass through at least one non-frangible portion. This ensures that the bumper beam remains attached to the vehicle in the event of a crash which causes the frangible portions to disintegrate.
