This robust shield is designed to safeguard your engine and gearbox from potential damage caused by rocks, ice, and other road hazards.

| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |

This skid plate provides comprehensive coverage for the gearbox and engine, effectively absorbing impacts and preventing damage. Its construction features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity, and ventilation openings ensure optimal airflow for engine cooling. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection is engineered to withstand impacts from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, significantly reducing the risk of costly repairs. The installation process is straightforward, as it mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, ensuring 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.
