| 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 |

This skid plate specifically protects the engine and gearbox, ensuring that vital components are shielded from impacts. The design includes reinforced ribs that enhance rigidity and shock absorption, providing additional safety during harsh driving conditions. Moreover, the skid plate features strategically placed ventilation openings, which maintain optimal temperature regulation while preventing overheating.
The Kolchuga® skid plate effectively guards against damage from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. Its installation offers mechanical protection, reduces the risk of corrosion, and improves aerodynamics, contributing to overall vehicle efficiency. The mounting process is straightforward, as it attaches 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.
