Front and rear bumper beams play a crucial role in automotive passive safety. Their function is to distribute impact forces on the vehicle body, protect the body structure, and reduce repair costs. The bumper beams are bolted to the vehicle's longitudinal members at both ends, and the low-speed energy absorption box effectively absorbs energy in low-speed collisions, reducing damage to the vehicle body.

Meanwhile, in high-speed collisions, bumper beams can transfer impact forces from one side of the vehicle body to the other, maximizing protection for the entire body. In summary, bumper beams help mitigate occupant injury in medium and low-speed collisions. Removing, reducing, or simplifying bumper beams will compromise vehicle safety and is an irresponsible act.
