An engine underbody shield is a protective panel installed beneath the engine. Below are relevant details: 1. Primary function: It prevents engine damage from impacts when driving on uneven road surfaces. 2. Types of engine shields: Available in steel, reinforced resin, plastic, and aluminum alloy. Steel plates are currently the most popular choice among car owners due to their affordability, durability, and superior engine protection. However, they are heavy, affect chassis weight distribution, and may interfere with engine safety drop during severe accidents. 3. Considerations: Reinforced resin is significantly lighter than steel and effectively resists mud erosion and minor chassis scrapes, though its overall strength is inferior to steel, making it prone to breakage during more severe underbody impacts.
