The Ministry of Defense has officially authorized the operation of a new Ukrainian-made mobile car repair shop in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The press service of the defense ministry announced this.

It is noted that this workshop was developed by specialists in one of the enterprises of the Ukrainian defense industry.

“The new model of the mobile repair shop is characterized by compactness and much better maneuverability compared to existing mobile workshops on the chassis of outdated Soviet ZIL-131 trucks,” the Defense Ministry said.

The new repair shop can be installed on the chassis of various pickup truck models from global manufacturers.

It is capable of handling routine repairs and maintenance of automotive and military vehicles of company-battalion level units.

The repair shop is equipped with tools and equipment for tire fitting, welding, and car mechanic work.

The workshop can also be used to charge car batteries using a special device, as well as perform diagnostic work using specialized computer equipment.

In addition, it is equipped with a 500-kilogram capacity crane and a 5-ton capacity winch.

The Ministry of Defense noted that a number of such mobile workshops on pickup truck chassis have already been transferred to combat units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

In total, in the first half of this year, the Ministry of Defense approved more than 20 light vehicles for use in the Ukrainian Defense Forces. The vehicles are designed to travel over rough terrain and perform tasks on water.

The new models include buggies, motorcycles with electric and internal combustion engines, four- and six-wheeled ATVs, and hexacycles.
