What is a car bumper?
A car bumper (also known as a bumper bar) is a component integrated at the front and rear of a car. The car bumper was first introduced in 1897 but only had an aesthetic purpose.
By 1901, after several improvements in materials and technology, the car bumper was designed to focus more on protecting the car’s components, minimizing damage from direct collisions, and protecting lighting, ignition, and cooling systems.

Car bumpers are usually equipped at the front and rear of the car. The structure of a car bumper consists of an outer plastic shell (or carbon fiber for high-end car models) and a reinforcement bar made of steel, aluminum, or fiberglass composite.
Benefits of a car bumper
Reduced damage to the car in collisions
The front and rear bumpers protrude outward, so when a collision occurs, the bumper absorbs a wide range of vibrations, helping to reduce damage to the car.
Some front bumpers protect important components such as the radiator, lighting system, or water positions of the car. Meanwhile, the rear bumper protects the rear lighting system in case of accidental collisions while reversing.

Many types of front car bumpers have an outer layer made of plastic or carbon fiber (with flexible and bendable characteristics) to minimize injuries to pedestrians in case of collisions. Furthermore, some front bumpers are designed with softer materials to reduce the impact injuries on pedestrians’ legs.
Increased aesthetic value for cars
In addition to protecting the car, car bumpers also come in various designs and styles, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the car and creating new attractive focal points.
.Daly emphasizes the importance of proper storage: “Whether you live alone or with a family, carefully considering the amount of food to be stored in the refrigerator is particularly important. But don’t cram too much food into a small-capacity fridge”.
Therefore, he proposes an alternative solution: “A larger refrigerator provides you with more space, which also means you have to defrost your refrigerator less frequently. This leads to the amount of money you save on your energy bill”.
Finally, Daly advises you to learn about the energy ratings of potential replacement appliances: “The current energy rating ranges from A to G, with the most efficient freezer-rated refrigerators being classified as A with American Fridge Freezers C”.
