Abstract
A bumper beam provided in a bumper for vehicles is disclosed. The bumper beam of the present invention includes a vertical rib, which sections a space in the bumper beam into several spaces in a vertical direction, and horizontal ribs, which section the space in the bumper beam into several spaces in horizontal directions.

Therefore, the bumper beam can impact energy in a consecutive impact absorbing manner.
