Do SUVs and cars need bumpers? Of course, the truck will never be loaded. Due to the high height of the car body, installing a metal bumper is fatal to the safety of pedestrians! For cars and SUVs, it is necessary to summarize and analyze specific problems.
The rear bumper is generally divided into steel and plastic materials. Steel front and rear bumpers are mainly made of metal materials, stamped into U-shaped channel steel with a thickness of more than 3 mm, and the surface is chrome plated. They are riveted or welded together with the frame longitudinal beam, and there is a big gap between them and the body, which seems to be an attachment.
Many SUV owners will install bumpers at the front and rear of the car, mostly made of stainless steel. In fact, their purpose is obvious. In addition to making the vehicle look wilder, it is very important that the bumper can protect the appearance of the car body, reduce its own losses and save maintenance costs when it encounters small bumps. Sometimes a slight collision is cheaper than painting, but the twisted metal bumper will be ugly and it will not be cheap to change it. But this is just a little bump. If the impact speed is higher, the secondary damage of the bumper to the car body is actually higher! If it is a high-speed collision, the bumper basically has no protection. One more thing, if it is a collision between vehicles and pedestrians, installing bumpers will undoubtedly do more harm to pedestrians! Higher compensation is caused, far higher than the maintenance cost saved. That is, considering the safety of non-motor vehicles and pedestrians, metal is not integrated and must not be installed. There is more important!
If you don't insure the new equipment for the added bumper, the insurance company refuses to pay, which has been written in the insurance contract.
Article 9 The insurer shall not be liable for the losses caused by the newly-added equipment exceeding the standard configuration, and the newly-added leverage may not pass the annual review.
However, with the development of automobile industry, automobile bumper, as an important safety device, is also on the road of innovation. Nowadays, in addition to maintaining the original protection function, the front and rear bumpers of automobiles should also pursue harmony and unity with body modeling and their own lightweight. In order to achieve this goal, at present, the front and rear bumpers of automobiles are made of plastic, which is the so-called plastic bumper.
As we all know, when the car is hit from front to back, the bumper of the original car is easily hit, which directly hurts the occupants in the car. In order to improve the safety performance of the car, many car owners require to install a front bumper and a rear bumper, which is often said that the off-road vehicle refits the front bumper and the rear bumper.
Bumper is to absorb and reduce the external impact force that the driver of the vehicle receives in the collision. The device that produces cushioning plays a role in protecting people and cars. In addition to maintaining the original protection function, the front and rear bumpers of the vehicle also pursue the harmony and unity with the body shape and its own lightweight. At present, the front and rear bumpers of SUV are made of plastic materials, which are called plastic bumpers. Plastic bumper is composed of three parts: outer plate, cushioning material and cross beam. Plastic bumper has strength, rigidity and installability. From a safety point of view. When the vehicle collides, it can play a buffering role and protect the front and rear car bodies. From the appearance, it can be naturally combined with the car body, integrated into one, and has good collision performance, which has become an important part of the appearance of decorative SUV. This plastic bumper can be added.
