This essential protection acts as a sturdy shield for your engine, safeguarding it against potential damage from road debris and obstacles. With its durable design, this skid plate ensures that critical components remain intact, allowing you to drive with confidence in various conditions.
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, gearbox, and radiator areas, ensuring comprehensive protection against impacts. Its construction features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and shock absorption, while strategically placed ventilation openings maintain optimal cooling for your vehicle's components. Additionally, service access openings allow for easy maintenance without needing to remove the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields your vehicle from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. By reducing the risk of damage, it minimizes maintenance costs and enhances the vehicle's aerodynamics. Installation is straightforward, as the skid plate mounts directly to factory points without any drilling or modifications required.
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.
