Abstract
Bumper reinforcement produced by molding a thermoplastic material and intended to be integrated into a motor vehicle front assembly between a bumper and a technical part. The bumper reinforcement comprises at least one mounting plate that is intended to bear at least one sensor, said mounting plate being integrally formed with said bumper reinforcement and connected by its perimeter thereto via a fragile material bridge such that, in the event of a frontal impact resulting in deformation of the bumper reinforcement and impacting the mounting plate, the mounting plate detaches fully or partially from the bumper reinforcement under the effect of the rupture of the material bridge.
