The invention relates to a vehicle, comprising a chassis extending between the rear end and the front end of the vehicle, the chassis comprising two frame members having their main directions of extension along the longitudinal direction and being located on a respective side of a longitudinal geometrical centre axis of the chassis. Resilient elements, such as bushings, are provided on the chassis. A collision protection structure is located between said two frame members and is configured to absorb energy by becoming deformed when the chassis is subjected to a rearwardly directed impact force which is greater than a threshold force, wherein the collision protection structure is suspended from the chassis by said resilient elements so as to act as a mass damper under normal operating conditions.
