GAZ-3309. Characteristics

With the start of perestroika in the USSR, the Gorky Automobile Plant (GAZ) began to create the fourth generation of medium-tonnage trucks with new cabs and engines. For their production, high-performance robotic devices were purchased, and new diesel engines with turbo-charging were developed.

In order to expand the functionality of the GAZ-3307, the Gorky Automobile Plant decided to create its twin. They became GAZ-3309. It was a truck with the same cab shape, but only a diesel one. It was thanks to this type of engine that the new car became less whimsical in operation and gained a high degree of power, economy and reliability. On the other indicators, he was not inferior to his prototype GAZ-3307. The diesel model was designed for further use in the army, as well as in public services.

Both GAZ vehicles , 3307 and 3309, are medium-tonnage trucks of the 4th generation. The carburetor GAZ-3307 is produced serially since 1989, and the turbo-diesel GAZ-3309 has been produced since 1994. Both are produced at the Gorky Automobile Plant and to this day. The new "lawn" replaced the trucks of the third generation (GAZ-52 and GAZ-53), which were produced serially until 1993.

Diesel car GAZ-3309 has a load capacity of 4500 kg. This weight truck is able to transport almost all types of roads, whether it is a primer or asphalt. This model is characterized by high technical and operational indicators.

Also in the 4-th family were such diesel cars, as a 5-ton truck GAZ-4301 and 3-ton GAZ-3306. These machines were produced until the mid-90's. After some time, the GAZ-3308 (Sadko) was designed and put into serial production at the Gorky Plant.

At the moment, the plant produces diesel trucks in the following trim levels:

• Isothermal van. It performs the function of transporting food products that require a special temperature regime. A heater and a special design of the doors make it possible to keep perishable products in the best possible condition. It is also possible to install a refrigerator unit on isothermal vans.

• Manufactured goods van GAZ-3309. This type of van Is intended for the transport of industrial goods, which do not require a special temperature regime (furniture, building materials, office equipment and so on). If the buyer needs to transport a non-standard cargo, there are longer vans (5 and more meters).
• Bread van. Everything is clear here. On such cars are transported products from bakeries to shops. The products are transported in special trays or containers. Bread wagon of standard sizes can accommodate 120 trays.

This model is the best option for medium-tonnage freight. Judging by the responses of car owners, the main disadvantages of the car are the strong vibration from the motor and the vulnerability of the wings in terms of corrosion. These are the only negative reviews about the GAZ-3309. For all other indicators, it's just an excellent car. Thus, it can be summed up that the GAZ-3309 performance is more than satisfactory.
