This skid plate specifically covers the electric engine area, ensuring maximum protection against impacts from rocks, debris, and other hazards. The construction features reinforcing ribs for added strength and ventilation openings that maintain optimal engine temperature. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick maintenance without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection offers significant benefits, such as safeguarding your electric engine from rocks, ice, and curbs. The robust design prevents damage from undercarriage impacts, while its installation enhances aerodynamics and reduces corrosion exposure. Easy to install, this protection mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
