Radiator & Electric engine Skid Plate for Nissan Leaf (2017 р.- ) II generation (ZE1) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Nissan Leaf II generation (ZE1) with a Kolchuga® skid plate, designed to safeguard critical components like the radiator and electric engine. Crafted from either 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®), this protection acts as a robust shield against underbody impacts. Ensure your vehicle remains in peak condition with this essential accessory that provides unparalleled durability and reliability.
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 |
Aluminum protection (thickness 3 mm)
The protection is made from the exclusive AluOx® aluminum alloy, alloyed with magnesium. The alloy is lightweight, strong, and durable; the addition of magnesium increases specific strength and provides corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemically aggressive environments. This protection does not require additional protective coating or anodizing (unlike steel ones), as it has natural corrosion resistance.
This skid plate covers critical areas including the radiator and electric engine, ensuring comprehensive protection against mechanical damage. Its construction features include reinforcing ribs for enhanced rigidity and ventilation openings to maintain optimal temperature. Service access openings are also integrated, allowing for easy maintenance without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates are engineered to absorb impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, providing a mechanical shield that reduces the risk of damage to your vehicle's underbody. The installation process is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, which simplifies the 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.

How does the coating of the skid plate affect its performance?
The coating of the Kolchuga® skid plate plays a significant role in its performance and longevity. The WhiteCover® coating on the steel version combines steel with zinc, providing excellent rust resistance and ensuring protection against corrosion. Alternatively, the ZiPoFlex® coating adds paint and varnish for enhanced durability and aesthetic appeal, making it suitable for various weather conditions. This protective layer helps maintain the structural integrity of the skid plate, allowing it to withstand wear and tear while keeping your Nissan Leaf's underbody safe from damage.
How does the skid plate protect the electric engine of Nissan Leaf?
