A reinforcement beam for a vehicle has an outer beam profile and a reinforcing insert introduced during the roll-forming process. The outer beam profile defines an elongated hollow body and includes a front wall portion and a rear wall portion. The outer beam profile may include upper and lower flanges formed in planar extension of the font wall portion. The reinforcing insert may define an upper shear wall and a lower shear wall that each extend between the front wall portion and the rear wall portion. The reinforcing insert may be introduced to a partial profile in a roll-forming process through an automated operation. The reinforcing insert may be present over a central section of the elongated hollow body and have a length that is less than half the length of the elongated hollow body.
