In the first nine months of 2024, the Ministry of Defence codified and adopted over 175 vehicle models for use in the Defence Forces, with over 76 being made domestically.

“We are referring not only to tactical combat vehicles or pickup trucks but to quite a wide range of automotive assets that are extremely necessary for the Defence Forces,” said Colonel Volodymyr Rochniak, Head of the Main Department of Support for the Lifecycle of Weapons and Military Equipment.

According to him, the codified automotive assets include modern electric and gasoline motorcycles, quads, hexacycles (six-wheeled ATVs), all-terrain buggies, unique all-terrain amphibious vehicles, pickups, tactical combat vehicles, tanker trucks, mobile cranes, mobile car repair workshop, backhoe loaders, technical assistance vehicles, semi-trailer trucks, wreckers, mobile bath-laundry units, trailers and semi-trailers, etc.

More than half of the 175 new vehicle models were codified during the third quarter.

Domestic innovations include the unique noiseless Atom Military electric motorcycle, the six-wheeled Polaris hexacycle, the TAKHA all-terrain amphibious vehicle, the TAKHA 3400 ten-wheeled extreme off-road vehicle, the Varan extra-low buggy, and more.

Among the foreign models of vehicles adopted for use in the Ukrainian Defence Forces this year are MAN, IVECO, and SCANIA trucks, VOLVO and DAF tractor units, PEUGEOT LANDTREK, TOYOTA HILUX, and MITSUBISHI L200 pickups, CAT 428 backhoe loader, and DAEWOO pyrotechnics vehicle.
