This premium protection acts as a formidable shield for your engine and gearbox, safeguarding these critical components from potential damage.

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

| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
This skid plate covers the engine and gearbox, ensuring comprehensive protection for these vital areas. It is designed with reinforcing ribs that enhance its structural integrity, while strategically placed ventilation openings maintain optimal cooling.

Kolchuga® skid plates shield against impacts from rocks, ice, and curbs, significantly reducing the risk of damage. The installation process is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, ensuring a hassle-free setup.
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.
