This is one of Autostrada's largest investments in equipment upgrades since the start of the full-scale war — its volume is UAH 1 billion.
In total, more than UAH 10 billion has been invested in equipment, specialized equipment, and production facilities since the start of the war.
An important component of this agreement was the comprehensive protection of equipment in conditions of war risks. All vehicles have full insurance coverage, including CASCO, civil liability, and additional insurance against war risks.
The new dump trucks have already left for our construction sites throughout Ukraine. They will strengthen Autostrada's technical capabilities on strategic projects for the country — from the construction of energy facilities, operational maintenance, and restoration of roads and bridges, to the construction of water mains and critical infrastructure facilities.
Mercedes-Benz Arocs are designed for intensive operation and high loads. OM 471 engines with a capacity of 421 hp, an 8×4 wheel formula and MEILLER Halfpipe bodies provide the necessary performance for work in difficult road and production conditions.
For Autostrada, this agreement is a strategic investment in strengthening its own production capacities, technological independence and the ability to implement the country's largest infrastructure projects with high quality and speed.
Even in wartime, we continue to develop our own technical base, introduce modern technologies and invest in the team. This approach allows us to control key production processes, reduce dependence on external resources and be responsible for deadlines, quality and results at each stage of project implementation.
The financing of the purchase was implemented in partnership with OTP Leasing Ukraine, with which Autostrada has been cooperating for 10 years.
