Vehicle with an impact damping arrangement between the vehicle body and a vehicle door or vehicle panel

Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle comprising at least one vehicle door or vehicle panel which forms a first element and a vehicle body which forms a second element. The vehicle door or vehicle panel is attached to the vehicle body in a pivotal manner and can be secured to the vehicle body in the closed state by means of at least one lock which interacts with a closing element. The vehicle also comprises an impact damping arrangement (10, 30, 40, 100-700) for damping impacts between the vehicle body and the vehicle door or vehicle panel when the vehicle door or vehicle panel is being closed. The damping arrangement (10, 30, 40, 100-700) has a damping device that is arranged between the vehicle body and the vehicle door or vehicle panel and has a first movement portion which undergoes damping and a second movement portion which does not undergo damping. The invention is characterized in that the impact damping arrangement (10, 30, 40, 100-700) is designed such that, when the vehicle door or vehicle panel is moved towards the vehicle body, said movement passes through the first movement portion first and then through the second movement portion. The first movement portion is arranged such that the movement along the first movement portion ends when the lock and the closing element come into contact with each other.
