Aurora and the “Lawyers' Move” Charitable Foundation have joined forces to provide evacuation transport for the military — both CASEVAC and MEDEVAC vehicles.
The uniqueness of this project lies not in purchasing ready-made specialized vehicles, but in converting civilian cars into fully equipped evacuation units.
In December, the Aurora retail network supported the funding of the first vehicle conversion into a CASEVAC for the International Legion of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.
Thanks to full funding of the transformation, the team at the “Lawyers' Move” Charitable Foundation was able to hand over the specialized vehicle to military medics as early as January, to support them in carrying out combat missions.
“As for us and the military, the decision to repurpose a civilian vehicle for CASEVAC was not immediately obvious or ready-made. Units within the Defense Forces do not have standardized evacuation vehicles, and the specific conditions each crew operates in add certain nuances that influence the design decisions we make. It became clear to all of us that relying solely on factory-produced, standardized evacuation vehicles is not a realistic goal. Given limited resources and the constant need to evacuate the wounded, we found a solution that is both simple to implement and effective in the field,” said Nadia Denysiuk, co-founder and head of the “Lawyers' Move” Foundation.
The foundation began working on evacuation support at the end of 2023. Since then, they have converted and delivered eight CASEVAC vehicles and two logistic-command vehicles to UAV operators.
The idea to launch this direction emerged when the team realized that they were providing support at every level — except the evacuation stage. The project became possible thanks to the expertise of one of the foundation's co-founders and a partnership with the German charity Pickup4Ukraine, which helps source, purchase, and deliver pickup trucks for the Ukrainian military.
“Over the past year, we realized that very few organizations are working in this area, while the number of requests continues to grow. This low involvement is due to the specific expertise required in vehicle modification, the need for physical presence throughout the transformation process, and the limited number of skilled specialists able to carry it out. We’ve come to the conclusion that this is our niche — and we’re committed to developing it,” Nadia Denysiuk added.
Aurora’s ongoing support in funding vehicle conversions will enable faster responses to military requests and significantly increase the number of evacuation vehicles available to the Armed Forces.
