The off-road trend is gaining momentum among Ukrainians. But what transport to choose for this? ATV, SUV, or maybe something more specific? What can drive over any obstacles, climb the highest ledge and even cross the river?
The answer to all these questions will beall terrain vehicle. Vnedorognik selected the most interesting Ukrainian cars, created to overcome the most difficult circumstances.

SHERP
This is one of the most successful and breakthrough products in the production of off-road vehicles. SHERP was created in 2012 by Ukrainian Volodymyr Shkolyar and Russian Sergey Samokhvalov, but the development was carried out even before the creation of the company. From the moment of its first appearance, Sherp began to gain popularity in the circles of off-roaders. But it became viral after a test on Top Gear in 2016. After that, orders poured in for several years ahead.
Its design allows you to go almost anywhere, all thanks to tubeless wheels with ultra-low pressure (height 1.6 m), a compact base (height - 2.4 m, length - 3.5 m, width - 2.5 m), a high margin of buoyancy (due to the wheels and sealed body) and low weight - from 1.4 tons (depending on the configuration). When ordering, you can choose from a wide range of options, such as the number of seats,optics,winch, autonomous heaters, etc.
Now Sherpas are used in the liquidation of the consequences of natural disasters, UN missions and special. services around the world.
THOR
This Ukrainian company is located in the city of Dnipro and specializes in the design and production of off-road equipment for outdoor enthusiasts. The basis of Thor is a two-liter turbodiesel from GM, with a capacity of 200 hp. and 350 Nm of torque from the flywheel.
Characteristics:
- equipped weight - 2000 kg;
- dimensions (height - 2.5 m, width - 2.5 m, length - 3.6 m);
- clearance - 58 cm;
- maximum speed - 68 km/h;
- speed of movement afloat - 7 km / h;
- number of seats - from 2 to 8;
- load capacity - up to 1000 kg.
All parts, except for the Japanese engine, are made in Ukraine. But the production of this model was stopped, and the developments applied to this all-terrain vehicle were used in the next representative of our list.
NOMAD
Another Ukrainian all-terrain vehicle - Nomad or "Nomad» in translation. It was he who became the continuation of THOR and absorbed his work.
It is equipped with a 2.8-liter Cummins turbodiesel with a capacity of 129 hp. and in 310 Nm of revolutions from the flywheel. The wheels "get" up to 10,000 torque thanks to the gear system. The length is 3.6 m, the width is 2.5 m, and the height is 2.5 m. The maximum clearance is 58 cm. It can reach 50 km/h on land, and up to 7 km/h on the water. Curb weight - 2200 kg. And for a good view off-road inNOMADexcellent is establishedoptics from a British companyLASER, purchase and install which you can onVnedorognik.
All-terrain vehicle Nomad is able to tow equipment much heavier than its weight. It easily coped with BTR-3 and Dozor-B coupled together, the total weight of which is more than 20 tons. Also, he was able to drag even a 40-ton Boeing-737, replacing an airport tractor.
Nomad is already in production and is actively being produced. A wide range of accessories and options are available for each customer, such asopticsorwinches, available for installation.
ATLAS
This is another vehicle, similar in appearance to the previous ones, but radically different from them in behavior. Developers from Dnipro equipped it with a steering wheel, which immediately distinguishes it from the rest of the "Sherpa-shaped" equipment. ATLAS can turn both the front and rear wheels, allowing you to move diagonally and make sharp turns and U-turns. By the way, side-swivel all-terrain vehicles are much less comfortable in this regard.
Characteristics:
- mass - 2200 kg;
- places - up to 11;
- load capacity - 1500 kg;
- speed of movement - land (up to 60 km / h), water (up to 7 km / h).
The vehicle is equipped with an extremely reliable 1.5-liter K9K turbodiesel engine from the Renault-Nissan alliance with 90 hp and 220 Nm paired with mechanics from the same manufacturer. Thanks to this, ATLAS does not require frequent maintenance. The service interval is 200 engine hours. Recently, the developers announced that the prototype passed5000 kmin the mode of maximum loads without breakdowns. Production of serial models is now in full swing in Dnipro.
STORM
They started developing the first prototypes in Kyiv two years ago, but it was possible to bring STORM to the end in the UAE, where the Ukrainians found investment for the implementation of the project. And in February 2021, it was presented for the first time at the IDEX-2021 exhibition.
It is universalarmored amphibious vehiclefor 6 seats, weighing 8 tons and with an electric motor2500 hpOn land, it can develop up to 140 km/h, and in water up to 30 km/h. It can run for up to 36 hours without stopping, and a diesel generator is used to charge the electric battery on the way.
The armored car is equipped with rubber tracks with the possibility of modular replacement of damaged parts. In addition, the team plans to install equipment for the possibility of diving under water or combat modules "Sarmat".
TORSUS PRAETORIAN
This all-terrain vehicle can be called a road vehicle, as it looks more like a bus than a tank. But this is not just a bus on off-road tires. FirstPraetorianwas presented by the Ukrainian company Torsus in 2018 with the statement that it is "the world's first off-road bus for heavy conditions".
The basis of this vehicle is a 286 hp diesel engine. and four-wheel drive. It can overcome slopes up to 65 degrees or fords up to 90 cm deep. It is perfect for expeditions, rescue operations, delivery of workers in off-road conditions or tourism. The Praetorian is equipped with LED optics, an air conditioning system, a BlazeCut fire extinguishing system, as well as a list of additional options available when ordering. The capacity of the bus isup to 36 passengers.
In 2020, the "most extreme bus" received two prestigious awards from Ukrainians -Red Dot Design AwardandGerman Innovation Award. Today, the company is located in the Czech Republic and is working on the development of the model.
