Vehicle front-end module for mounting to the front end of a rail-borne vehicle, in particular a railway vehicle

The invention relates to a vehicle front-end module having a vehicle front-end structure for mounting to the front end of a rail-borne vehicle, in particular a railway vehicle, wherein the vehicle front-end structure is wholly composed of structural elements made from fiber composite or fiber composite sandwich material. The structural elements forming the vehicle front-end structure comprise first structural elements which are configured and directly connected to one another so as to form a substantially deformation-resistant, self-supporting front-end structure designed to accommodate a vehicle driver's cab. The structural elements forming the vehicle front-end structure further comprise second structural elements connected to the first structural elements and designed such that at least a portion of the impact energy occurring due to the transmitting of impact force (collision energy) and introduced into the structure upon a collision of the rail-borne vehicle is dissipated by at least partly irreversible deformation or at least partial destruction of the second structural elements.
