On the basis of the Lviv Higher Vocational School of Computer Technologies and Construction, the unique all-wheel drive car “GURKIT” was developed.

Ukrinform reported that this was reported by the press service of the Lviv City Council.

“The uniqueness of this design is that the engine in the car is located in the middle. That is, the undercarriage is perfectly unloaded here, and this greatly affects the passability of the car. Also, this stroller is three-seater and one seat can be fully folded so that it is convenient to transport an injured person when necessary. “There is a convenient compartment for various weapons and two points for securing machine guns,” said Taras Yanush, a student and one of the developers.

He also noted that the first cars in the school began to be converted from sports models to more useful ones at the front. Last year, they developed a self-made model of a Tyrex car, which still performs combat missions. And “GURKIT” is a vehicle that is a further improved version of its predecessor, as it takes into account all the needs of the army, which tests various vehicles in battle.

It is emphasized that the four-wheel drive buggy has many advantages. Especially the low center of gravity as well as the central position of the engine; high clearance; protected beznobak; the front and rear curtains of the body are missing; circular disc brakes. In addition, high passability, payload and maneuverability (small turning radius).

The city council adds that since the beginning of the full-scale occupation, the Lviv School of Computer Technologies and Construction has been actively involved in helping the Ukrainian Armed Forces and internally displaced Ukrainians: IDPs live and study here, repair cars for the army , drone conducting operator courses, creating unique lighting devices, cooperating with various public and international organizations.

As reported by Ukrinform, the pilot project of the drone management course training is implemented on the basis of the Lviv Higher Vocational School of Computer Technologies and Construction. Training equipment was purchased within the framework of the implementation of the UN Program for Reconstruction and Peacebuilding with the financial support of the European Union.
