This protection is made from 2 mm steel, providing a robust barrier against the harsh impacts of the road. Think of it as a reliable armor for your vehicle, ensuring the longevity of its vital components.
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 |

This skid plate covers the engine and gearbox, providing comprehensive protection against various road hazards. Its construction includes reinforcing ribs for added strength and ventilation openings that maintain optimal temperature levels. Additionally, some models feature service access openings, allowing for quick maintenance without the need to remove the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps. By minimizing the risk of damage to crucial components, it extends the lifespan of your vehicle while reducing maintenance costs. The installation process is straightforward, requiring no drilling or modifications, as it mounts directly to factory 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.
