The present invention provides a vehicle energy absorbing device, which comprises a primary energy absorbing box and a secondary energy absorbing box, said primary energy absorbing box having a U-shaped cross section with a bottom and a wall extending therefrom, said secondary energy absorbing box being nested inside said primary energy absorbing box. In the crash of a car with a pedestrian, said secondary energy absorbing box of the vehicle energy absorbing device according to the present invention can provide continuous stiffness when said primary energy absorbing box is nearly collapsed, so as to protect lower legs of pedestrians and reduce harms to legs of pedestrians. The vehicle energy absorbing device of the present invention can meet the requirements of both GB/T24550-2009 and GB17354. It can not only decrease harms to lower legs of pedestrians, but also reduce damages to automobiles as a result of low-speed crash.
