This essential underbody protection acts as a shield for your engine and gearbox, defending against potential damage from road hazards. Designed for a perfect fit, it ensures your vehicle’s critical components remain safe from impacts.
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 specifically designed to cover the gearbox and engine areas, providing robust mechanical protection. Its construction includes reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and shock-absorbing properties to effectively manage impact energy. Additionally, strategically placed ventilation openings ensure optimal airflow for cooling, maintaining a stable temperature during operation.
The Kolchuga® skid plate protects against various road hazards including rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. It significantly reduces the risk of mechanical damage, prolonging the life of your vehicle. Installation is straightforward, as it mounts directly 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.
