The 'Life Chariot' off-road trailer has been designed by industrial designer Piotr Tluszcz in response to seeing the hardships faced by Ukrainian medics during the Russo-Ukrainian War. The trailer is characterized by its steel skeleton design that gives it the strength needed to make it through a variety of war-torn environments without fail. The MEDEVAC-like trailer offers a dedicated spot for the patient to be positioned, which will keep them stable during transport to prioritize comfort and safety.
The 'Life Chariot' off-road trailer was awarded the James Dyson Humanitarian Award, which has prompted Tluszcz to use the prize money for the betterment of the unit with feedback from Ukrainian and Polish units. The trailer is capable of being attached onto virtually any kind of vehicle.
