A Ukrainian team of engineers and designers has introduced BEEZY, a compact truck that can be called the first real step towards the revival of the domestic automotive industry. This is not another futuristic render or an «electric car of the future,» but a project that is already moving towards production.
A Ukrainian team of engineers and designers has introduced BEEZY, a compact truck that can be called the first real step towards the revival of the domestic automotive industry. This is not another futuristic render or an «electric car of the future,» but a project that is already moving towards production.
The design was created by Roman Pryadko, known for the ZAZ 965 newERA concept. But if there was an emphasis on nostalgia and retro, then BEEZY is a different story: a modern, utilitarian and as honest an approach as possible without embellishment.
The name BEEZY was not chosen by chance. The bee is small, hardy and works without pathos and unnecessary promises. The project is focused on the real needs of small businesses and the reconstruction of the country. The creation of a car with a carrying capacity of up to 1 ton was the answer to the request for affordable, simple and reliable transport. The practical model offers two internal combustion engines: a 1.4 TDI turbodiesel or a 1.6 MPI gasoline engine.
BEEZY has dimensions of 4500×1700×2000 mm, cargo volume in the van version is 5 m³ and is available in van, flatbed or pickup bodies. Among the advantages: modern design, warranty service and low cost orientation.
The ideological team emphasizes: during the most difficult periods of Ukrainian history, it was trucks that became the key pillar of reconstruction — they transported materials, products, and equipment, helping to restart the economy.
Today, the country again needs such machines — affordable, maintainable, easy to manufacture and maintain.
According to the developers, BEEZY can become the new Ukrainian «people’s car» for business and daily work.
