Puskuripari

Puskuripari is a Finnish term that translates to "bumper pair" or "pair of bumpers." It most commonly refers to the front and rear bumpers of a vehicle. These automotive components are designed to absorb impact in a low-speed collision, protecting the more critical parts of the car such as the engine, transmission, and body panels. In modern vehicles, bumpers are often integrated into the overall design for aerodynamic and aesthetic purposes, while still retaining their primary safety function.

The materials used in puskuripari construction have evolved significantly over time. Early vehicles featured metal bumpers, which were robust but heavy. Advances in polymer technology led to the widespread adoption of plastic bumpers, which are lighter, more durable, and can be molded into complex shapes. These plastic bumpers often contain foam or honeycomb structures behind the outer shell to further enhance their impact absorption capabilities. The design and performance standards for vehicle bumpers are regulated in many countries to ensure a minimum level of protection for occupants and pedestrians.
