Abstract

The disclosure relates to a steering column assembly (16) for a vehicle (10). The steering column assembly (16) comprises an inner tube (22) and an outer tube (24). The inner tube (22) and the outer tube (24) extend along a common axis (A). In an operational position, a portion of the inner tube (22) is arranged inside the outer tube (24). Moreover, the steering column assembly (16) comprises an energy absorption mechanism (26) being coupled to at least the inner tube (22) and being configured to absorb energy in case of a relative movement of the inner tube (22) and the outer tube (24) along the axis (A) and out of the operational position. An energy absorption capacity per distance unit of the energy absorption mechanism (26) is variable along the axis (A). Additionally, a vehicle (10) comprising such a steering column assembly (16) is presented. Furthermore, a method for operating such a steering column assembly (16) is described.
