During this period, the model developed 60 modifications and variants of execution. In addition to the truck, the car is produced in special variations for municipal services, geological prospecting, passenger transportation, armored cars for banks, etc. Companies that manufacture special vehicles will create a car tailored to the individual needs of the customer. The choice of two types of drive and several motors is just the beginning of a big way to build a specialized transport. You can order a fiberglass body with a ground clearance of 70 cm and low-pressure wheels - these vehicles are in demand among hunters, workers in the oil and gas industry and the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Even a model of the tractor is produced. If the exclusive offer is irrelevant, then you can buy a simple GAZ-2705 - a cargo van, all-metal. 7 seats in the cabin and the volumetric body will be another advantage of this commercial car for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs.
History of the model
GAZ-2705 is produced in two versions: with a three- and seven-seater cabin (according to the plant specification there are no differences in the indices).
"Gazelle" cargo and passenger can carry up to 1000 kg of weight. To increase sales, the characteristics of the car were brought into line with the driver's category B - the total weight of the car is about 3.5 t, and in the cabin it is less than 8 seats. In the 90 years in Russia, the "Gazelle" had one competitor - ZIL-5301, popularly named very original: "Bull". Its total weight was 7 tons, and it no longer corresponded to category B. In the late 90's and early 2000's the market demanded other products, and therefore ZIL-5301 did not fit into these requirements. The model almost left the market, losing its niche "Gazelle".
Specifications
"Gazelle" cargo and passenger received the characteristics most suitable for Russian conditions. For example, the big advantage is the presence of a solid frame - due to this the number of modifications of "Gazelle" has 60 options. The frame is so sturdy that the car rusts the carpet before and the engine wears out. Thanks to this, the GAZ-2705 was commercialized.
Engines
Few people know that GAZ-2705 - cargo van, all-metal (7 seats) in total was equipped with 4 types of engines: 3 petrol and one diesel. Of the gasoline engines, there were 2 domestic and one imported - Chrysler, a volume of 2.4 liters. He possessed a capacity of 137 liters. from. And a torque of 210 Nm. Of the Russian engines, the most popular was ZMZ-405: an injector engine with a volume of 2.5 liters and a power of 133 liters. With., With a torque of 214 Nm.

The engine is injector, received a working volume of 2.9 liters, capacity of 106 liters. from. And a torque of 220 Nm. Do not think that low power will not allow cargo to be transported in normal mode. The main factor affecting the acceleration of the motor is the size of the torque. For commercial vehicles, this is an important indicator because it affects the ability to carry heavy goods by car. The lower the engine speed, which is available torque, the less the car will consume fuel. For this reason, vehicles engaged in freight and passenger transportation are equipped with diesel engines - this saves fuel and maximizes efficiency. Of course, the diesel engine is not devoid of shortcomings, but this is the topic of a separate, more extensive article.
And the last motor - diesel GAZ-5602, created on the basis of Steyr M14. The diesel GAZ-2705 features the following characteristics: it has a capacity of 110 liters. from. And a maximum torque of 250 Nm. It is a turbo-diesel engine with a maximum crankshaft speed of up to 4750 rpm.

In the outskirts often use fuel not for the season or fill the tractor, not suitable, because of what often breaks down the equipment.
