GAZELLE NEXT
The GAZelle family of commercial and cargo-passenger vehicles in the LCV segment, manufactured by GAZ OJSC and also assembled using industrial assembly technology in Kazakhstan (Almaty), Lithuania (Rokiškis), and Iran (Tehran), was expanded in 2013 with the new NEXT model, a major upgrade of the previous GAZ-3302/2705 model.
The vehicle retains its frame structure, semi-bonneted cab, and longitudinal engine placement in the front of the cab.
Rear-wheel drive or, in the future (for all-wheel drive variants), dual-drive.
The main difference between the GAZelle NEXT and its predecessor is its independent front suspension and a completely new cabin with an anti-corrosion coating and plastic fenders.
Checking and setting the TDC of the first engine cylinder in the compression stroke is necessary when performing work on removing the camshaft drive chain
The car's power plant is mounted using three supports
Two supports with rubber cushions are located on the sides of the engine and one support is located under the gearbox
The most important indicator of the state of the engine is the compression in the engine cylinders
