| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |

This skid plate provides comprehensive coverage for the engine and gearbox, ensuring that these essential components are shielded from rocks, ice, and other debris. Its construction features reinforcing ribs for added strength and ventilation openings to maintain optimal temperature management. Additionally, service access openings allow for easy maintenance without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively absorbs impacts from road hazards, reducing the risk of costly damage to your vehicle's underbody. The installation process is straightforward, requiring no drilling or modifications, allowing for quick and efficient setup at factory mounting points.
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.
