This robust protection acts as a shield for your engine and underbody components, safeguarding them from potential damage caused by road hazards.

| 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 critical areas such as the gearbox, engine, and rear differential, providing comprehensive protection against mechanical impacts. Its design incorporates reinforcing ribs for added strength and ventilation openings to ensure optimal airflow for cooling. Some models also feature service access openings, facilitating quick maintenance without the need to remove the shield.
Kolchuga® protection effectively guards against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and road debris, significantly reducing the risk of damage to vital components. Installation is straightforward, as it mounts directly to the factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, allowing for a secure fit.
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.
