Location: Kyiv, Ukraine
Project Overview
The project involves the development and semi-knockdown (SKD) assembly of a multifunctional pickup built on a modern platform with 4×4 all-wheel drive and an extended chassis/body. The vehicle design allows for the installation of an autonomous power station (independent power supply, solar generation, EW and communication modules), as well as the integration of a universal platform with an optional lightweight armored body.
This solution enables rapid and manoeuvrable deployment of an autonomous power station and essential cargo, including specialized military, rescue, and medical kits, significantly improving operational efficiency in field conditions.
Market Overview
The total size of the Ukrainian pickup truck market, including military and medical demand, is estimated at $150–250 million annually for 2026–2030. Forecasts indicate steady annual growth of this segment in both Ukraine and the EU.
Distribution Channels
The main target customers include the Ministry of Defence, State Emergency Service, medical institutions, as well as corporate and civilian clients. Although no contracts have been signed yet, preliminary agreements have been reached with government entities regarding product testing.
Key Suppliers and Partners
Manufacturers and suppliers from Poland, Czech Republic, China, and Ukraine.
Current Project Status
The company (LLC) was established in 2024. The viability of the project is supported by comparable functioning models already in operation within EU countries, demonstrating the effectiveness of the chosen engineering solutions. A key competitive advantage is the combination of high product quality and low production cost.
Assets
The company operates from leased production facilities and owns a registered trademark. A detailed roadmap and business plan have been completed, and preliminary agreements for the supply of components and procurement of finished products are already in place. Service and warranty processes have been fully developed.
Team
2 founders, 2 engineers, 1 specialist.
Key Current and Target Performance Indicators
Experimental production: 2 units. Planned mass production: 60 to 1,500 units per year
IRR: 25%, NPV > 0
Payback period: 1.5–2 years (based on 60 vehicles sold in year one)
Required Investment
The total required investment is $240,000. The investor is offered participation in the company’s equity, involvement in the project and profit distribution, or the option to establish a joint venture.
