ENERGY ABSORBING STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE

An energy absorbing structure connects a first structure of a vehicle to an adjacent second structure of the vehicle. The energy absorbing structure includes support beams and lattice arrays. Each support beam is located at a respective corner of the energy absorbing structure and extend in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The support beams connect the first structure to the second structure. The lattice arrays are located at respective sides of the energy absorbing structure and form a periphery of the energy absorbing structure. Each lattice array connects adjacent support beams to each other.
