FIA Teams Up With Steelbird for Its Global Safe and Affordable Helmets Programme

Apr 9, 2021 by Neel Achary 0 Comments #Steelbird

Steelbird is credited for being one of Asia’s largest helmet manufacturers and an Indian brand supplying worldwide. Owing to its expansive worldwide distribution network, manufacturing capacity, high quality and affordable range of helmets, the Indian manufacturer and the FIA are collaborating for its global road safety programme. The objective of this programme is to provide, with the support of the FIA Member Clubs’ worldwide network, high quality helmets meeting United Nations Regulation 22.05 in those territories which have faced problems with low quality helmets in their local market.

Steelbird production capacity for this programme is 240,000 helmets per year with a total production capacity secured by all the partners of 420,000 helmets per year.

The FIA has been working on this highly ambitious initiative to facilitate the deployment of a motorcycle helmet that meets UN safety standards, that is comfortable in hot and humid climates, and available at a target selling price around 20 USD. The FIA Safety department, which is normally tasked with developing safety equipment for competitions, has used its expertise to achieve this objective. In markets where the population is largely dependent on two-wheel motorised transport, and where the hot climate and the high purchase price prevent many motorcyclists from wearing a helmet, the FIA Safe & Affordable Helmet Programme will contribute to reducing motorcycle related fatalities. Research shows that helmet wearing is one of the most effective road safety interventions, reducing the number of head injuries among moped riders and motorcyclists by around 44%.

This is the second partnership with a helmet manufacturer as part of the FIA Safe & Affordable Helmet initiative. This project recently received the support of the Keep Fighting Foundation, founded by the family of Michael Schumacher, with a donation of five thousand helmets.

Jean Todt, FIA President, said: “Wearing a helmet is a key issue in road safety. I am happy to welcome Steelbird as a new partner of our Safe & Affordable Helmet initiative. In view of the many qualities of the Indian manufacturer, I am convinced that this collaboration will contribute to the success of our international initiative. Steelbird is committed to offering high quality helmets at an affordable price which will help in mass adoption of the helmets in those regions of the world where it is more needed.”

Mr. Rajeev Kapur, Managing Director, Steelbird Helmet said: “We are proud of our association with FIA as we have out beaten other players globally. Moreover, this tie-up also proposes an immense opportunity to step up the safety measures in those areas and zones which remain untouched or low on road safety standards. The territories have been identified by FIA with the objective of increasing the use of helmets while riding two-wheeler without compromising safety. As a brand we have worked very hard over the years to not only build our distribution network but also to deliver quality and safety to the riders.”

Steelbird is credited for being one of Asia’s largest helmet manufacturers and the only Indian brand supplying worldwide. It is the first company in India which is ahead of time and has already upgraded its manufacturing facilities, labs and designs to meet the upcoming requirements as it gears up to enter unexplored territories with its affordable range; the brand has a cutting-edge manufacturing facility in all 6 of its plants and the largest one is in Baddi (Himachal Pradesh), near Chandigarh with over six lakh Sq. ft. of covered area. The manufacturer has installed a capacity of 22000 helmets per day.

The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) is the governing body for world motor sport (notably Formula 1, Formula E, Endurance, Rally, RallyCross and Karting World Championships) and the federation of the world’s leading mobility organisations. The FIA promotes safe, sustainable and accessible mobility for all. Founded in 1904, with headquarters in Paris and in Geneva, the FIA is a non-profit organisation. It brings together 245 Member Organisations from 146 countries on five continents. Its Member Clubs represent 80 million road users and their families.

The products are being manufactured and its existing plants in Baddi & Noida. SBHT has cutting edge manufacturing facilities in all 6 of its plants and the largest one is in Baddi (Himachal Pradesh), near Chandigarh with over one hundred and fifty thousand Sq. ft. of covered area.

Commenting on the current need of the medical devices, Mr. Rajeev Kapur, Managing Director, Steelbird Group indicated, “Face shield, PPE kits, gloves, oximeter and masks have become central to the Covid-19 conversation as the disease tightens its grip on the world. They are regarded as essential items in hospitals, where the equipment could prove the difference between life and death for doctors, nurses and patients.

And it’s not just in healthcare where medical products like face masks, face shields and gloves are gaining traction. While schools have closed, many businesses are avoiding public meetings to reduce the spread of the virus; large sections of the general public must still venture outside their homes for groceries and essential work.

An increasing number of these citizens are attempting to mitigate the risk by wearing face shields and gloves. This is particularly important for key workers who rely on public transport or operate in an environment where it’s hard to maintain adequate social distancing.”

Looking at the growing demand and need for offering quality and innovative medical devices Steelbird helmets made an entry into the healthcare business early this year.

Further giving an insight into Steelbird venturing the medical segment Mr. Rajeev Kapur said, “With the widespread Coronavirus this is the need of the hour, we thought of coming with products that give protection to people; and since our brand is built around safety, expanding into this area was a direction we saw fit.

These products are made after a lot of R& D to improve the efficiency and the fit aspect.

Further throwing light on adding new products and scaling up of production Mr. Kapur added “We have launched different varieties of face shields and from producing produce 15,000 units daily currently we have started producing 40,000 units per day.

Face shields are essential in added defence against COVID-19 as they protect the eyes. It has been proven that the virus can enter the body from the eye which is why face shields are more important than face shields. Our range currently includes shields for the general public, kids, women and special shields for Doctors that come with an anti-fog coating as ICU temperatures are cold and require this.”

Steelbird recently launched an innovative GN-1 HF Static Face Shield, which is a first of its kind revolutionary hand free face shield.

Prior to this the company had launched 5 different types of face shields along with face shields exclusively designed and manufactured for kids.

Mr Kapur also indicated that demand has been high for these medical products and the distributors account for 50 per cent of the sales while the remaining 50 per cent gap is filled in by the e-commerce platforms like Amazon.in.

Furthermore, the company is also offering gloves, niqabs, balaclavas and PPE Kit that uses a premium fabric like used in European countries and also a set of Doctor’s goggles that come with an anti-fog layer.
