What is the plastic panel at the front of a car called?
1 Answers
The plastic panel at the front of a car is called a crash beam, also known as a plastic bumper. The car bumper is located in most areas at the front and rear of the vehicle. It is designed to prevent external damage from affecting the vehicle's safety system, absorb and mitigate external impacts, and protect the front and rear of the car body. It also has the ability to reduce injuries to passengers during high-speed collisions and is increasingly designed for pedestrian protection. Below is a related introduction: The plastic bumper consists of three parts: an outer panel, cushioning material, and a crossbeam. The outer panel and cushioning material are made of plastic, while the crossbeam is pressed into a U-shaped groove from cold-rolled steel sheets about 1.5 mm thick. The outer panel and cushioning material are attached to the crossbeam, which is connected to the car frame's longitudinal beams with screws and can be removed at any time.
