More Than a Supplier: Your Sparring Partner from A to Z
Buying a truck for Ukraine involves more than choosing a brand. Winters bring snow, ice and temperatures well below freezing, while summers can be hot. In spring and autumn, rural roads to farms and building sites turn to mud, and many roads are in poor condition. Ukraine also sets minimum environmental requirements for imported trucks. The axle configuration, engine, emission class, cold-weather equipment, body and paperwork all make the difference. That is why we start by understanding your operation: what you transport, which routes you drive and how intensively your vehicles are used. Based on that, we advise you on the configuration that gives you the best value over the long term.
Once you have made your choice, we take care of the rest. That includes custom bodybuilding, technical modifications, export documentation and transport to Ukraine. You have one point of contact for the entire process, so you can focus on your business while we handle the details. Our stock of European A-brand trucks changes continuously, which means we can often offer short lead times.
Which Trucks Does Ukraine Need? Solutions per Sector
Ukraine is one of the world's leading agricultural exporters and faces a major task in rebuilding its housing, roads and energy infrastructure. Together with logistics and industry, these sectors create strong demand for commercial vehicles. Below you'll find the truck types our customers in Ukraine ask for most often.
Agriculture and Grain Export: From the Field to the Port
Ukraine is one of the world's largest exporters of grain, corn and sunflower oil. During harvest, huge volumes travel from farms and elevators to the ports on the Black Sea and the Danube and to the western borders. This requires tractor units with tipping or grain semi-trailers, such as the Mercedes-Benz Actros, MAN TGX, Scania R-series and IVECO S-Way. Rigid grain trucks and tippers are needed on farms, and refrigerated trucks for dairy, meat and fresh produce. We supply the chassis and have the right body built to your specifications.
Reconstruction and Construction: Housing, Roads and Bridges
Rebuilding homes, schools, hospitals, roads and bridges requires large fleets of construction vehicles. Clearing rubble and moving earth calls for 8x4 and 6x4 tippers such as the Mercedes-Benz Arocs, MAN TGS and IVECO X-Way or T-Way. Building work also needs concrete mixers, bulk cement tankers, low-loaders for excavators and wheel loaders, and truck-mounted cranes. We configure these vehicles for intensive use on building sites and roads in poor condition.
Energy and Utilities: Restoring the Power Grid
Repairing and modernising the power grid, substations and heating networks is a top priority. Energy companies need crane trucks and aerial work platforms for work on power lines and substations. They also need heavy tractor units and low-loaders for transformers and generators, and service vehicles for maintenance crews. Water utilities and municipalities need water tankers, refuse trucks and service vehicles. For work in fields and on unpaved terrain, we supply all-wheel-drive trucks such as 4x4 versions of the MAN TGM and IVECO Eurocargo.
Logistics and International Transport: Routes to the EU
A large share of Ukraine's trade travels by road to and from the European Union through the border crossings with Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania. Ukrainian hauliers on international routes need modern tractor units with a high emission class and comfortable cabins, such as the Scania R-series, MAN TGX, Mercedes-Benz Actros and IVECO S-Way. For domestic distribution in Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipro and other cities, we supply medium-duty trucks such as the IVECO Eurocargo, MAN TGM and Mercedes-Benz Atego.
Industry, Mining and Food Processing
Ukraine has a large industrial base, with iron ore mining around Kryvyi Rih, steel and building materials production, and a strong food processing industry. These sectors need heavy tippers, bulk tankers for cement, flour and animal feed, flatbeds for steel products, and refrigerated and insulated trucks for food. We supply the chassis and have the right body built to your specifications.
Mercedes-Benz, MAN, IVECO, Scania & More
Our range covers the leading European commercial vehicle brands:
- Mercedes-Benz: the Actros, Arocs, Atego and off-road Zetros, known for their durability.
- MAN: the TGX, TGS, TGM and TGL, with strong drivetrains for heavy work.
- IVECO: the S-Way, X-Way, T-Way, Eurocargo and Daily, covering everything from light vans to heavy construction trucks.
- Scania: a popular choice for long-distance transport.
Other brands are available on request. Because Ukraine drives on the right and the major European brands have service networks in the country, European left-hand-drive trucks are a natural fit. Not sure which brand or model suits your operation best? We compare the options with you objectively, based on your application, budget and service requirements.
Configured and Built for Ukrainian Conditions
Cold winters, muddy rural roads, damaged road surfaces and intensive harvest seasons put extra strain on any vehicle. We help you choose the right specifications, including:
- an emission class that meets Ukrainian import requirements;
- cold-start equipment, such as engine and fuel heaters, and a parking heater for the cab;
- reinforced suspension, extra ground clearance and the right axle configuration for rural and damaged roads;
- tyres suited to winter conditions, fields and building sites;
- the right body and payload for grain, construction materials or energy equipment.
Through our network of European bodybuilders, we can deliver tippers, grain bodies, tankers, refrigerated bodies, crane installations and other specialised builds. Your truck leaves the Netherlands fully prepared for the job it has to do in Ukraine.
