Abstract
A structure for mounting a bumper beam 2 extending transversely of a vehicle covered with a bumper face 6 and mounted to a chassis 3 through a support 4, in which the bumper beam 2 is formed into a hollow body made of high-tension steel, the front end of the support 4 extends forward beyond the rear portion of the bumper beam 2. Thus, when a large collision energy works on the lightweight bumper beam formed into a hollow body made of high-tension steel, the collision energy is quickly transferred to the vehicle chassis through the front end of the beam.
