BAZ-2215

The most noticeable difference is the height of the buses produced in Boryspil. They are much higher than the height of the GAZelle and allow passengers to stand in the cabin at full height. Due to this, as well as due to the presence of handrails in the cabin, standing passengers are allowed to travel. The cabin is equipped with fourteen chairs and is fenced off from the driver's cab with a partition. Passenger doors located in front of the body are automatic, there are also emergency manual doors in the back of the cabin. Wide windows provide a good overview; ventilation of the cabin is carried out with the help of one hatch in the roof and a vent on the side windows.[2]

The first BAZ-2215 cars were assembled at the Boryspil Bus Factory in Prolisky, but the production facilities of this enterprise, where BAZ-A079 buses were already produced, were not enough to produce a new model alongside BAZ A079. Therefore, in August 2003, on the basis of the enterprise "ChernihivAvtoDetal", the Chernihiv Bus Factory was created, where in September of the same year the production of BAZ-2215 minibuses began. For some time, the machines were assembled at two factories at the same time but later BAZ had stopped their assembly and only Chernihiv kept producing the Delfin.[3]

In 2003–2004, in addition to the standard modification, the Boryspil Bus Factory also produced buses on the chassis of the pre-restyling GAZelle. They received the BAZ-22151 index.

Since 2006, instead of BAZ-2215, its modification BAZ-22154 began to be produced. It has a ZMZ-405.22 engine, which meets the adopted standards of environmental safety in Ukraine, Euro-2. In addition, the updated "Dolphins" are equipped with the ABS system of the German company Wabco.

In 2010, the BAZ-22155 was presented, equipped with engine UMZ-4216 (Euro-3). Such machines are no different from BAZ-22154. In the same year, production of this family of buses stopped.

In total, more than 2,000 buses of the BAZ-2215 family were produced.
