GAZ-3307 and GAZ-3309 (nicknamed GAZon ) are fourth-generation Russian trucks produced by the Gorky Automobile Plant . The GAZ-3307 was announced in late 1989, and the GAZ-3309 was announced at the end of 1994.
11-478: The GAZ-3307 is the successor to the GAZ-52/53 , the manufacture of which was discontinued in early 1993. These trucks have 4.5 tons carrying capacity and are designed for use on all types of paved roads . The fourth-generation GAZ truck family includes the 5-ton diesel GAZ-4301 (1984-1995) and 3-ton diesel truck GAZ-3306 (1993-1995). Since 1999, Gorky has offered a 2-3 ton, all-wheel drive, all terrain variant,
22-662: A further engine update in 2008 ensured Euro 3 compliance. Mass production of the GAZ-3307 and -3308 models with ZMZ engines was discontinued in 2009; however, restricted production continued for government agencies. In 2010–2012, the GAZ-3309 was fitted with a MMZ D-245.7 E-3 diesel engine, and the GAZ-33081 Sadko and GAZ-33086 Countryman variants were fitted with the MMZ D-245.7 E-2 diesel engine. All vehicles produced after 2013 received
33-496: A reduced compression ratio and smaller 2 barrel carburetor. The ZMZ-53 produces 120 hp SAE Gross at 3200 rpm, giving the GAZ-53 a top speed of 90 km/h (56 mph). Early versions, called GAZ-53F, were powered by an old 75-hp (SAE Gross) six-cylinder engine from the GAZ-51 truck; but since 1964, the GAZ-53 was equipped with a 4.3L ZMZ-53 V8 engine. Payload was increased to 4 tons in
44-478: A white grille. The GAZ grille is fluted vertically, and the direction indicators are located above the headlamps. The ZIL has flashers below the headlamps and its grille is horizontally slated. The main (or basic) variant of GAZ-53 with no suffix letter was released in 1964. It featured the brand-new 4254 cc light-alloy V8 ZMZ-53 engine, which was a modified version of the one used in the GAZ-13 Chaika , with
55-590: The GAZ Sadko and a 4-ton all-terrain variant, the GAZ-33086 Zemlyak . When the GAZ-3307 was designed in the early 1980s, it utilized common assembly techniques and parts found in models of the time (the chassis and engine were derived from the GAZ-53-12), resulting in lower costs and easier maintenance. The vehicle received a more spacious, modern cab, equipped with an efficient ventilation and heating system. This
66-525: The 1965 model, called GAZ-53A. The GAZ-53A was built until January 1983, when the GAZ-53-12 took over until production ended. All variants use a four-speed gearbox, synchronized on third and fourth. A number of other sub-versions were also introduced, including the military version GAZ-53A-016. In total, over 4 million GAZ-53 were built, making it the highest production truck of the Soviet Union. The GAZ-53A
77-425: The GAZ-3309. Multiple variants of the GAZ-3307 and -3309 were released: GAZ-53 The GAZ-53 is a 3.5 tonne 4x2 truck produced by GAZ between 1961 and 1993. Introduced first as GAZ-53F , it was joined by the virtually identical 2.5-ton GAZ-52 in 1962, which was produced until 1989. The GAZ-52 and GAZ-53 trucks are distinguished by different lighting systems , wheel rims and tonnage (payload):
88-573: The GAZ-52 was able to carry up to 2.5 tonnes of cargo, whereas the GAZ-53A could carry up to 4 tonnes. From 1961 to 1975 the GAZ-53 was produced along with its predecessor, the GAZ-51 . Given the long production run of GAZ-52/53 and their variants, the series is a common sight in Eastern Europe. They should not be mistaken for the broadly similar 5-6 ton ZIL-130 , which is also usually painted light blue with
99-592: The MMZ D-245.7 E-4 engine. Since 2012, the GAZ-33096 was produced with a diesel engine (which was certified under Euro 4 emissions standards in 2013). In February 2013, the GAZ-33098 received a new YaMZ-5342.10 engine, and a new model, the GAZ-33088 was introduced. In June 2014 GAZ presented a new version, with the unofficial name of Sadko Next with an increased carrying capacity of 3 tons, and also an updated version of
110-747: Was also license-built by KTA Madara in Shumen , Bulgaria, beginning in 1967. They were called the Madara 400 series (the "4" representing its four-tonne payload). Beginning in the 1970s, the Bulgarian-built trucks were fitted with locally built four-cylinder 3.9 liter Perkins diesel (later also turbodiesel) engines, made by the Vasil Kolarov engine plant in Varna . These engines had either 80 or 100 PS (59 or 74 kW). Madara built about 3,000 trucks per year throughout
121-591: Was first applied in the pilot truck GAZ-4301 in 1984. Testing of the GAZ-3307 was finished in December 1986. Unlike their predecessors, these trucks had power steering. Serial production of the 4.5-ton GAZ-3307 with the ZMZ-511 engine (an updated version of the ZMZ-53 ) began in late 1989. Around 2006, the GAZ-3307, GAZ-3309, and GAZ-3308 received updated petrol and diesel engines that complied with Euro 2 emissions standards, and
