Car for Ukraine has joined efforts with representatives from all 50 states of the USA. During this campaign states will have a friendly competition helping various units at the hottest spots of the frontline with battle-ready pickup trucks.

General Goal:

The Goal of the Campaign for the North Carolina Battalion

The trucks we are going to deliver to the warriors are:

• Fully serviced to last 20-30k miles with no significant investment
• Reinforced chassis frame to withstand the weight and tough terrain
• Upgraded with armour to protect from shrapnel and save lives
• Painted and branded to thank our wonderful community for the support

Who will receive the vehicles?

Collectable Patches

NORTH CAROLINA BATTALION. Part of our 50 States for Ukraine patch collection. 

This patch represents North Carolina and their support for Ukraine in its period of need. It features the Northern Cardinal, which is the state bird and the state motto "First in Flight" which refers to the Wright Brothers who invented the first working model of an airplane - a source of great pride in the state. 

50 STATES PATCH. Part of our 50 States for Ukraine patch collection. 

The 50 States patch shows the Bald Eagle, from the Great Seal of the USA, and shows it flying to Ukraine with pickup trucks and drones, to assist Ukraine in its epic fight for survival. The badges of the USA and Ukraine (using Car for Ukraine trident logo) represent the two states working together in solidarity.

Collectable Pins

THE SOLIDARITY - a USA and Ukraine flag pin represents friendship, unity and support between the two nations. 
It signifies a shared bond and mutual respect, particularly in the context of recent world events and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Wearing the pin is a visual way to express solidarity with Ukraine and its people. 
 

Custom branding

For $2,850 we will place your custom sticker on the truck.

It could be your text, message, logo, name, or your country's flag.

"Your truck" at the frontline

The average cost of an armored pickup we deploy to the frontline is $12,500. If you contribute with that amount all the custom branding options will be yours. Plus you'll receive a personalized reporting about the truck, where it ends up as well as some surprise gifts from us. 

On top of that, you may personally deliver the truck UK ---> Ukraine, getting it to our workshop for further refitting and preparation for the frontline. Or you can also come to Lviv directly when the truck is ready for deployment Lviv ---> Frontline and hand over the keys to the warriors personally, creating a lifetime experience for yourself together with us.

What Makes C4U Trucks a Perfect Balance?

Short answer: We spend money on what really matters and save on everything else to deliver more trucks every time.

• Frontline pickups: C4U has provided 700+ frontline pickup trucks since 2022, with funds raised USD 7M (Mid 2025).
• C4U deploys mainly Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L200, dated 2010-2017, with low mileage, fully serviced and upgraded to last 20-30,000 km without technical issues.
• These pickups are most favoured by Ukraine military due to being some the toughest and most reliable pickups for the frontline in Ukraine.
• Armour for life: C4U is one of a few groups that focus on making vehicles battle-ready, not just cars. One key element for every truck that has a risk of being hit: we armour them with 8mm steel plates around vital places of humans (neck, knees, head, body) as well as around the vehicles' vital places - such as engine parts, radiator, turbo, accumulator to keep the vehicle moving even after being shelled.
• Direct support to Ukraine: Spending your donor dollars inside Ukraine supports the survival of Ukraine as a nation and develops in-country skills and capabilities. Engineers doing mechanical work and armouring vehicles, visual designers, patch and pin makers, and other paid personnel are all in Ukraine.
• Value for donor money: The main personnel with C4U are all volunteers working pro-bono.  Our costs are kept to a minimum (no marketing, paid photographers, event planners). The currency value of UAH is 40x lower than EU compared to USD.
