Are There Metal Car Bumpers?
1 Answers
There are metal car bumpers, but most family cars currently use plastic bumpers. The main reason for using plastic bumpers is to absorb and cushion external impacts, thereby protecting the vehicle body, pedestrians, and occupants. When a car collides at low speed, the plastic bumper's cushioning effect can protect the car body to some extent. Characteristics of plastic bumpers: 1. Plastic bumpers are much lighter than metal ones, reducing the overall weight of the car; 2. During a collision, plastic bumpers provide a cushioning effect; 3. In minor collisions, plastic bumpers can rebound and self-repair, and they are easier to repair compared to metal ones.
