Commercial trucks of the GAZelle model range are highly efficient vehicles for internal urban transportation and transportation of small consignments on regional and intercity routes.

Compact carriers

The GAZelle range was developed at the Gorky Automobile Plant and put into serial production in 1994. The key advantage of cars of this "family" is their small weight - up to 3.5 tons (with a carrying capacity of up to 1.5 tons), which made it possible to drive a car if the driver has a category B. In addition, such a low weight allows the transportation of goods in urban conditions, on streets that are closed to more powerful vehicles, and in the spring, when our country has a capacity limit when driving on country roads.

Other important qualities of the "family" of cars include:

1. Good dynamic parameters.
2. Reliable handling.
3. Repairable.
4. Economy.
5. Versatility.

All these properties, together with the upgrades brought by the GAZ company, ensured a high demand for cars of the GAZelle class. Since the beginning of the release, the number of copies sold has exceeded several million. Given the popularity of a car of this class, the manufacturer has developed and launched the production of the next generation under the designation "GAZelle" Next.

Cars "Gazelle Business"

From the assembly line of the Nizhny Novgorod Automobile Plant, two generations of the GAZelle model range are currently descending at once:

• "Business".
• Next.

The "Business" series is represented by the following basic models:

1. Onboard version. Lifting capacity - up to 1.5 tons, in extended and standard versions, with a three- and six-seater cab.
2. All-metal van. Triple and cargo-passenger seven-seater versions.
3. Minibus. Capacity from 8 to 13 passengers.

Based on the vehicles listed above, almost 150 different modifications have been developed and are being produced. The most popular among them are:

• various van options;
• cars with a crane and tow trucks;
• school and medical buses;
• compact dump trucks with various dumping methods.

Next Series

The GAZelle Next lineup received the base cars of the nextperformance:

1. All-metal van. With a seven-seat or three-seat cabin.
2. Minibus produced in the following versions: city - 18 seats; school - 17 places; tourist - 14 seats.
3. Onboard option. Standard and long base, three- and six-seater cab.
4. Suburban bus. Capacity - up to 19 people.

Among the various modifications traditionally stand out a variety of vans, tanks, dump trucks, ambulance buses, tow trucks and platforms with CMU, a fire variant.

Prices of the GAZelle lineup, variety of models and a large number of modifications allow you to choose a car that fully meets the needs of a particular buyer. The minimum cost of a car (used) is from 80 thousand rubles and more. New cars (especially Next models) can cost up to a million rubles.

The quick payback period for a commercial vehicle of the GAZelle series is achieved by low (compared to foreign models) cost, as well as affordable prices for spare parts and maintenance costs.
