Abstract

A bumper beam has a U-profile with its top directed toward the vehicle. It has fixedly welded mounting plates (16, 17) in the form of horizontal hat-shaped profiles. The mounting plates are bolted to end plates (19) on the side rails (18) of the vehicle, so that collision stresses are transferred to all four sides (29, 30, 32, 33) of the respective side rail.
