GAZon NEXT

The GAZon NEXT is a truck produced by the Russian vehicle manufacturer GAZ. The vehicle has been in production since 2014 and is the successor to the GAZ-3307. Under the name Sadko NEXT comes a variant of the vehicle with four-wheel drive; accordingly, this is the successor to the GAZ-3308.

Overview
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 also being built. 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 commenced in Nizhny Novgorod on 19 September 2014 and the investment cost for the new production line amounted to more than 2.3 billion rubles. 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.
