Description

The GAZon NEXT is a light two-axle truck with rear axle drive and 8.7 tonnes gross vehicle weight. It is offered with different body variants. Flatbed models are also delivered, as well as refrigerated vehicles or special vehicles for authorities or for snow removal. Likewise garbage trucks are being built.[1] The built-in diesel engine is a Russian make of YaMZ with about 110 kW of power and 4.43 liter cubic capacity.

The serial production of the GAZon NEXT started at GAZ in Nizhny Novgorod on September 19, 2014, the investment cost for the new production line amounted to more than 2.3 billion rubles.[2] It is unclear in this context whether the production of the predecessor GAZ-3307 was discontinued at the same time, but this vehicle is no longer offered.[3]

At the end of 2015, a basic GAZon NEXT cost about 1.4 million rubles (about 20,000 € at that time).[4]
