ABSTRACT:
A bumper beam includes a metallic center beam mounted with a plurality of vertical members each integrally crossed by a horizontal member. A plastic outer beam encompasses an external side of the center beam and a plurality of ribs are mounted at the outside of the plastic outer beam. The bumper beam features of a bumper beam needed in times of a low speed collision and a high speed collision between the vehicle and a pedestrian. As a result, injuries to the pedestrian can be reduced during the low speed collision and an impact absorption performance of the vehicle can be maximized during the high speed collision. Thereby, safety of the pedestrian and occupants inside the vehicle are increased.
