Abstract:
A vehicle bumper reinforcement structure to increase energy absorption capacity is provided. The vehicle bumper reinforcement structure comprises a base member extending in the width direction of the vehicle that is attached to the vehicle at both width ends, and a first reinforcement member and a second reinforcement member attached to the base member at a width center of the vehicle. Widths of the reinforcement members are differentiated in such a manner to cause fracture of the base member at width ends of the reinforcement members by a predetermined collision impact applied to the width center of the base member.
