Abstract
A bumper arrangement for a vehicle comprises a bumper beam ( ) fastened in two crash boxes ( ). The bumper beam ( ) has a U-profile with a central flange ( ) and two webs ( ) and has its opening towards the vehicle. The central flange has a recess ( ) that is shallow at the mountings to the crash boxes ( ) and deepens therebetween so that the bumper beam will be so stiff that it will transfer substantial force to both crash boxes also in an off-set crash. This design makes the width of the part of the bumper beam adjacent the vehicle small.
