Engine & Gearbox Skid Plate for Volvo S60 (2019-) III generation (224 mm) | Kolchuga®
The Kolchuga® skid plate for the Volvo S60 (2019-) III generation (224 мм) is designed to provide exceptional protection for your vehicle's engine and gearbox. Made from either 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®), this protection acts as a robust shield, safeguarding critical components from mechanical damage caused by road debris and obstacles. With its durable construction, the skid plate ensures that your vehicle remains in optimal condition, allowing you to drive with confidence.
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 both the engine and gearbox, providing comprehensive protection against impacts. Its design features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and shock absorption, along with ventilation openings that maintain optimal temperature regulation. Additionally, service access openings allow for easy maintenance without removing the skid plate.
The Kolchuga® skid plate protects against a variety of road hazards, including rocks, ice, dirt, and curbs, ensuring your vehicle's longevity. Its mechanical shield design minimizes the risk of damage from impacts, while also reducing corrosion and improving aerodynamics. Installation is straightforward, as it mounts 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.
