The thrust transmitting section (1) includes a thrust transmitting member (5) having an elongate configuration extending along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The deformable section (2) includes: deformable members (6, 8) in the form of a bridge defining stacked and joined supporting configurations (6a, 8a) to which the thrust transmitting member (5) is connected, and legs (6b) which extend from said supporting configurations (6a, 8a) substantially along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and which are connected to the longitudinal member (4), optionally by means of a flat bar (10). The energy absorber is housed inside the longitudinal member upon deformation of the deformable section (2).
