Protect your Ford Fusion (2002-2012) I generation (JU) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, expertly crafted from 2 mm thick steel. This protection acts as a robust shield for your engine and oil pan, ensuring that vital components remain safe from damage caused by road hazards. With its durable design, this skid plate provides peace of mind while navigating various terrains.
The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| 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 critical areas including the engine, radiator, and gearbox, providing comprehensive protection against impacts. Its engineered construction features reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that enhance rigidity and facilitate thermal management. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick maintenance without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields your vehicle from damage caused by rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. The installation process is straightforward, as it mounts directly to the factory points without the need for drilling, ensuring both mechanical protection and reduced corrosion. Enhanced aerodynamics from the smooth underbody design may also contribute to improved fuel efficiency.
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.
