The present invention relates to an energy absorbing and dissipating device for vehicle coupling having a fork (3), wherein the fork (3) has a pin (7) mounted therein for mounting the ear assembly (1) connecting the vehicle coupling head, and on the rear side of the fork (3) a pin is mounted with a set of cushioning inserts (11). The set of inserts (11) on the side of the fork (3) is secured by a stop plate (5), constituting a limiter for movement in the coupling pulling direction, and on the opposite side by a back plate (6) and a locking element (13), and the entire structure is closed by a locking element (10), constituting a limiter for movement in the coupling pushing direction, the device additionally having a housing (4) in which the other components can move slidingly, and in which the locking element is mounted (10). The device is characterized in that the housing (4) is shaped like a sleeve, there is a circumferential fastener (2) on the outside of the housing (4), the fastener (2) having screw holes (2a') for mounting it to the vehicle wall, and cutting knives (15) for cutting the housing surface (4), the fastener (2) is fitted onto the housing (4) and further clamped onto it with a locking ring (14), the housing (4) has slots (15a) for knives (15) on the outer surface, where the fastener (2) is located.
