Active and passive safety
Explanation
The **chassis** and the **bodywork** are key elements in a vehicle's **passive safety**. The chassis is the internal structure that supports all the vehicle's parts, while the bodywork is the external metal part that covers it. In the event of an accident, both deform to **absorb the energy** of the impact. This helps protect the passengers by reducing the injuries they might suffer.
The main function of these components is, therefore, to **absorb the maximum amount of energy** produced in an accident, thus minimizing the impact on the vehicle's occupants.
