Claim:
A sliding-type apparatus for absorbing front shock energy for a railway vehicle, comprising: a driver panel provided on a front surface of a driver's cab in a front part of the railway vehicle so as to be movable backwards; a protective shell connected to the driver panel, so that, when the driver panel is moved backwards, the driver panel is inserted into the protective shell; a bottom shock absorber provided under a lower surface of the driver panel to absorb the shock energy; a front shock absorber provided on a front surface of the driver panel to absorb the shock energy; and a driver panel shock absorber provided at a position towards which the driver panel is moved backwards, thus absorbing the shock energy using backward movement of the driver panel, wherein an H-beam guide slot is formed in the driver panel, and an H-beam member is provided in the protective shell and is slidably inserted into the H-beam guide slot.
