Mud-guards and under-frame The mud-guards and under-frame are coated with glossy
epoxy-bituminous product, also as noise suppresser.
Interior of steel profiles The interior of steel profiles is treated with oil and provided with
venting holes.
Light alloy panels The light alloy panel used both for the bodywork and the equipment lockers are self-protected against corrosion. However they receive an epoxy primer before the final painting. They are assembled to the steel structure by inter-laying an epoxy seal, which prevents rattling and humidity entry.
Ambient conditions The vehicle is suitable to operate in saline atmosphere, with high humidity and temperature.
