The PAZ-3206 bus, whose technical characteristics pleased the vast majority of domestic carriers, quickly won its place in the market. An important role was played by the pricing policy chosen by the manufacturer. The cost of a new passenger bus is acceptable, and spare parts are more affordable than those of its closest competitors. It is impossible to ignore the ease of maintenance, as well as the reliability of the design itself.

Perfect city bus

Technical characteristics of the PAZ-3206 make it easy to maneuver on city streets, feel confident even in the densest traffic. This was made possible thanks to the excellent optimization of the dimensions, which look like this:

• length - 6900 mm;
