The invention relates to a fluid duct (10), particularly an inlet air duct for a combustion engine in a vehicle, having a shell (12) enclosing an inner volume (30) and comprising at least one upper surface (14) and at least one side wall (16, 17), which upper surface (14) represents an upper surface (14) of the fluid duct (10) in its mounted state in an intended position. The side wall (16, 17) is configured to be selectively collapsible upon action of a force (34) applied to the upper surface (14) so that in a collapsed state of the shell (12) the upper surface (14) and the at least one collapsible side wall (16, 17) collapse below a predefined level thus reducing a height (28) of the shell (12).
