Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Volvo V90 (2015-) II generation (235 mm) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Volvo V90 (2015-) II generation (235 мм) with Kolchuga® skid plates, available in durable steel (2 mm) or lightweight aluminum AluOx® (3 mm). These skid plates act as a robust shield for your engine and gearbox, ensuring critical components are safeguarded against potential damage from road hazards. Engineered for precision fit, they provide the ultimate defense for your vehicle's underbody.
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 the engine and gearbox areas, designed with reinforcing ribs to enhance impact absorption. The construction includes ventilation openings to promote optimal airflow and maintain cooling efficiency, as well as service access openings for easy maintenance without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates effectively protect against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps. The installation process is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications. This mechanical protection significantly reduces the risk of costly repairs and corrosion while improving aerodynamics.
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.
