An active buckling system for a vehicle including a force generator. The active buckling system includes the force generator that at least partially weakens a frame associated with the vehicle. The active buckling system may induce a buckling of the frame during a collision. The active buckling system may further reduce a longitudinal frame compression distance between a front of the vehicle and a cabin, associated with absorbing an impact from the collision, at least in part due to the inducing of the buckling of the frame.
