This essential accessory serves as a mechanical shield for your engine, safeguarding it against potential damage from road hazards.

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 is designed to cover the engine, gearbox, and rear differential, providing comprehensive protection. Its construction features reinforcing ribs for added strength and ventilation openings to maintain optimal temperatures.

Kolchuga® skid plate protects against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, ensuring your vehicle remains intact. Easy installation is guaranteed as it mounts directly to factory points, requiring no drilling or modifications, thus preserving your vehicle's integrity.
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.
