Dongfeng VL truck parts Front cover assembly with lower baffle 5301509-C4310

Designed as a single, cohesive unit, this assembly combines the front cover (hood) and lower baffle to deliver comprehensive protection for the Dongfeng VL’s engine bay. The front cover shields critical components (engine, radiator, wiring harnesses) from direct sunlight, rain, and falling debris (e.g., branches), while the lower baffle blocks road gravel, mud, and splashes from the front bumper area—preventing damage to the lower engine and oil pan. Unlike separate front covers and baffles that may misalign, this integrated design ensures consistent coverage, reducing the risk of corrosion or component wear caused by debris accumulation. The lower baffle also features a curved edge that redirects airflow under the truck, enhancing aerodynamics and reducing drag at highway speeds

Built to withstand the harsh demands of commercial truck operation, the assembly uses rugged, high-performance materials. The front cover’s main body is crafted from 1.5mm-thick high-strength steel (Q345 grade) with a box-type reinforcement structure, providing exceptional impact resistance—able to absorb minor collisions (e.g., hitting low-lying obstacles) without denting or cracking. The lower baffle is made of wear-resistant polyethylene (PE) plastic with glass fiber reinforcement, offering flexibility to withstand impacts while resisting corrosion from road salt and mud. Both components undergo anti-rust treatment: the steel cover features a zinc phosphate coating and electrostatic paint, while the PE baffle has a UV-stabilized finish, ensuring durability in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 120°C for over 8 years

This assembly prioritizes both engine cooling and user convenience. The front cover includes precision-cut ventilation grilles (calibrated to Dongfeng VL’s cooling system needs) that allow fresh air to circulate into the engine bay while preventing large debris entry. These grilles are positioned to align with the radiator, ensuring optimal heat dissipation even during heavy loads (e.g., hauling cargo uphill). For maintenance access, the cover features a heavy-duty hinge system with a gas strut that holds it securely in the open position (65° angle), eliminating the need for a prop rod and allowing technicians to work safely. The lower baffle is designed with quick-release clips, enabling easy removal for cleaning or access to the lower engine components—no tools required for disassembly

Engineered for efficient replacement in truck repair shops, this assembly simplifies installation with user-friendly features. It comes with pre-assembled hinges, latches, and mounting hardware (stainless steel bolts, lock washers) that match Dongfeng VL’s OEM specifications—no need for separate parts procurement. The assembly includes laser-etched alignment marks that align with reference points on the chassis, guiding technicians to position it accurately in 60–90 minutes using standard hand tools. To guarantee quality, the product is manufactured in an IATF 16949 certified facility, with each unit undergoing strict inspections: dimensional checks via 3D scanning, load tests to verify strength, and leak tests to ensure water resistance. It also includes a 36-month warranty against manufacturing defects (e.g., weld failure, material cracking, or paint peeling), providing Dongfeng VL truck owners and fleet operators with long-term peace of mind
