A box-shaped beam for a vehicle, exemplarily a front lateral member (2), with a portion (6) oriented in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The portion (6) has, at a distance from a front end, stiffener plates (8) glued to opposite sides (9, 10) of the beam. The glue (11) is of a hard and brittle type which allows the plates to be split off after a certain deformation of the beam occurs so that the section with the plates is rendered less stiff. |
