What is kinetic energy after collision of vehicles?

A perfectly inelastic collision also known as a completely inelastic collision is one in which the maximum amount of kinetic energy has been lost during a collision, making it the most extreme case of an inelastic collision. Though kinetic energy is not conserved in these collisions, momentum is conserved.
