Vehicle bumpers and anti-collision beams both protect cars and are often confused by people, but they are actually different things.
The anti-collision beam, also called anti-collision steel beam, is a device used to absorb collision energy and reduce the impact force when a vehicle collides. It consists of a main beam, an energy-absorbing box, and a mounting plate connected to the car. Both the main beam and the energy-absorbing box can effectively absorb the collision energy when the vehicle collides at low speed, minimizing the damage to the body longitudinal beams caused by the impact force, thereby protecting the car. Anti-collision beams are usually hidden inside the vehicle bumper and inside the door.
The vehicle bumper is an important safety device that absorbs and mitigates external impact and protects the front and rear of the car body. It is an additional layer of protection based on the original car's anti-collision system. Vehicle bumpers can be distributed on the front, rear and front ends of the vehicle, and are mainly used to slow down the impact of collisions on the car. In addition, vehicle bumpers also have the functions of beautifying the appearance of the vehicle, avoiding friction, and protecting pedestrians. Vehicle bumpers have a simple structure and are easy to replace, can be purchased and installed by yourself.
