Abstract
A vehicular bumper beam is comprised of a hollow member of high tension steel, which has a front corner portion with an inclined surface. With this arrangement, when a collision energy is applied obliquely to the corner portion of the bumper beam, the collision energy is received by the inclined surface. As a result, a small collision energy arising from a collision at a low speed can readily be absorbed while a large collision energy arising from a collision at a high speed can be transmitted to a vehicle body quickly and efficiently.
