Anti-Corrosion Measures
•
The body of the BT-50 features improved anti-corrosion measures:
–
Organic-resin coated steel is used on body panels that are regularly exposed to
weather, such as the cowl, bonnet and outer door panels. Undercoating, PVC and
wax coatings are used extensively to protect the underbody, frame and other
exposed areas, against corrosion.

Galvanized steel is used for fenders, rocker panels, outer cargo box panels, the
cargo box floor panel, wheel wells and load gate.
