3 <strong>Crash</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>System</strong> 31<br />
3.6 Weight Investigation<br />
The crash management system’s weight is 60.7 kg. The standard steel bumper system’s<br />
weight is 53.6 kg. Since the crash management system replaces the steel bumper system,<br />
an additional mass <strong>of</strong> 7.1 kg must be compensated. This can, <strong>for</strong> example, be easily done by<br />
using an aluminium 5 th wheel Fig. 7-2 instead <strong>of</strong> a conventional steel device. This way a<br />
mass reduction between 33 kg (37 %) to 45 kg is possible.<br />
