Abstract
In order to prevent a rear bumper from penetrating in the event of a crash so far into the vehicle body that a rear flap can no longer be operated, a so-called supporting element is arranged within the bumper in the area of the longitudinal center plane of the vehicle and/or at the ends, which supporting element constructs the bumper in a rigid manner in this area.
