Status of India Unique Regulation- Engine Guard
Background
• Currently no regulation for Engine Guard fitment in India.
• Transport Commissioner, Maharashtra State had requested Ministry of Road Transport &
Highways to mandate Engine Guards in motorcycles.
Ministry Action
• Maharshtra State Government has referred the issue
to Ministry of Road Transport & Highways.
• Currently, manufacturers are not facing any
registration problems due to non-fitment of Engine
Guard.
Engine Guard
SIAM Activity
• SIAM has decided to use the term “Engine Guard” instead of “Leg
Guard”, for all representations to government.
• Various research papers on “effects of engine guards in
motorcycles” studied and analyzed.
• Results of research papers compiled together.

Motorcycle Impact Performance
94-S7-O-06 (IMMA) • Standard engine guard
--> no change in injury chances
• Heavy duty engine guards
--> increase in injury chances Motorcycle Impact Performance
96-S7-O-09 (IMMA)
Overall evaluation of UKDS
Motorcyclist Leg Protectors based
on ISO 13232
•Normalized injury cost summed across the seven
configurations increased by 300%.
•This type of device should not be fitted to motorcycle.
University of South California •E/G is not effective to protect the legs.
•In some case, E/Gs are dangerous.
JAMA Research
• E/G beneficial only in some configurations (vehicle &
motorcycle angles).
• In most configurations, E/G proved hazardous.
JAMA response •·Installation of Engine Guards should be avoided.
Final Conclusion from Research Papers
SIAM Conclusion: SIAM opposed to mandatory fitment of engine guard.
