The “Autostrada” Group of Companies purchased 100 new Mercedes-Benz Arocs dump trucks with a total value of 1 billion UAH, according to the group’s founder, Maksym Shkil.
“Autostrada continues to systematically invest in expanding its fleet and its own production capabilities. The company has purchased 100 new Mercedes-Benz Arocs 5 4142 K (8×4) dump trucks. This is one of Autostrada’s largest investments in fleet modernization since the start of the full-scale war—it totals 1 billion hryvnia,” Shkil wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.
According to him, the group has invested over 10 billion hryvnia in vehicles, specialized equipment, and production facilities since the start of the war.
Shkil emphasized that a key component of this particular deal was comprehensive protection for the vehicles against military risks: all vehicles have full insurance coverage, including comprehensive coverage (CASCO), civil liability, and additional insurance against military risks.
The new dump trucks have already been dispatched to Autostrada’s construction sites throughout Ukraine.
Mercedes-Benz Arocs trucks are designed for intensive use and heavy loads. The 421-ks OM 471 engines, 8×4 wheel configuration, and MEILLER Halfpipe bodies provide the necessary performance for operating in challenging road and working conditions.
“Even amid the war, we continue to develop our own technical infrastructure, implement modern technologies, and invest in our team. This approach allows us to control key production processes, reduce dependence on external resources, and ensure on-time delivery, quality, and results at every stage of project implementation,” Shkil emphasized.
The purchase was financed in partnership with OTP Leasing Ukraine, with which Autostrada has been collaborating for 10 years.
The Autostrada Group of Companies is a leader in infrastructure construction in Ukraine. Its areas of activity include road construction, bridge construction, industrial construction, underground construction, and design.
According to data from YouControl, in January–June of this year, Autostrada Group LLC reported 2.4 million UAH in net profit (compared to 91.1 million UAH for the same period in 2025) and 1.92 billion UAH in net revenue (5.13 billion UAH).
As previously reported, a missile strike on “Autostrada’s” production facility in Kyiv in early August destroyed and damaged more than 20 pieces of equipment, a concrete plant, a service center for equipment repairs, production facilities, and a laboratory complex.

German automaker Mercedes-Benz Group AG aims to at least halve its carbon footprint per passenger car produced by 2030 compared to 2020 levels.
According to the company’s press release, to achieve this goal, it intends to increase the share of electric vehicles in the line of produced cars, use “green” charging technologies, work on improving battery technologies, and also actively use recycled materials and renewable energy sources in production.
Mercedes-Benz expects to produce exclusively electric vehicles by 2030. The company aims to increase the share of hybrid and electric vehicles to 50% of the total volume of passenger cars produced by 2025.
By 2030, the automaker intends to cover more than 70% of its energy needs from renewable sources, in particular through the use of solar panels and wind turbines at its enterprises.
The company has previously said it plans to achieve carbon neutrality in its operations by 2039.
