GAZ-3307

In the early 1980s, when designing the truck GAZ-3307 and other models of the fourth generation provided ample unification on sites and aggregated existing production car (the chassis and gasoline power plant, in fact, moved from model GAZ-53-12), reducing the cost of the automobiles while facilitating the maintenance, repair, and operation.

The car received a more spacious, modern double cab, equipped with an efficient ventilation and heating system. This was first applied in the pilot truck GAZ-4301 in 1984.[1] The trials of GAZ-3307 were finished in December 1986.[2]

Unlike their predecessors, these trucks have power steering. Serial production of the 4.5-ton truck GAZ-3307 (4×2) with a carburetor engine ZMZ-511 (modernized ZMZ-53[3][4][5]) 125 HP began in late 1989.

In 1992, the GAZ deployed mass production of the 5-ton truck GAZ-4301 6-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine GAZ-542 125 HP. It was manufactured under license from the German company Deutz AG, as well as agricultural truck GAZ-SAZ-4509 on its chassis for operation in the 8.6-tonne tipper lorry convoy GAZ-6008 (truck GAZ-4509 + trailer GKB-8536). With significant structural differences, such as wheels for models 3307 and 4301 are not interchangeable, cars are almost identical in appearance. GAZ-4301 production continued until 1995. A total of 28,158 trucks of GAZ-4301 were produced.

In 1993, the production of the replacement model GAZ-52 3-ton truck GAZ-3306 4-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine GAZ-544 85 HO started. According to some sources in 1992, the truck was released in a limited edition of 2.5 ton modification 33061 with carburetor engine from GAZ-52. The production of three-ton GAZ-3306 (mainly in the performance of "Cargo Taxi") continued until 1995.

In late 1994, with the development of the four issue at GAZ diesel turbo air cooling GAZ-5441 115 HP, the model GAZ-3309 with a carrying capacity 4.5 ton, completely unified the chassis and cab with GAZ-3307. By mid-1996, it was completely replaced with a conveyor truck carburetor 3307. In mid-199, its own production of diesel " air-vent " at GAZ was considered uneconomical, resulting in release of the model 3309, which was further suspended until the end of 2001, and the production of 4.5-thin carburetor GAZ-3307 was restored. Subsequently, gas replaced Belarusian diesels MMZ D-245.7 at the Minsk Motor Plant (MMZ), and the production of the 3309 model resumed.

Since 1999, GAZ produced the fourth family truck which was a four-wheel drive (4×4) car - the GAZ Sadko for the army (capacity 2 tons) and its civilian (2.3 m) version.

Around 2006, GAZ-3307, GAZ-3309, and GAZ-3308 installed petrol and diesel engines certified Euro-2 for environmental standards, and Euro-3 since 2008. Large scale production of 3307 and 3308 models with petrol engines ZMZ was discontinued in 2009; however, restricted production continued for government agencies. In 2010–2012, medium-duty trucks GAZ (4×2) diesel engine was fitted with a predominantly MMZ D-245.7 E-3 (model 3309), and all-wheel drive (4×4) Model 33081 "Sadko" and 33086 "Countryman" - diesel engine MMZ D-245.7 E-2. Since 2013, all trucks of the GAZ 4- generation received the turbo MMZ D-245.7 E-4 power 119 HP as the base engine.

Since 2012, the GAZ-33096 was modified for diesel and was certified under Euro-4 in 2013. In February 2013, the GAZ-33098 series was modified with the Russian diesel engine YaMZ-5342.10 having Euro-4 certification, as well as a new version of the truck, the all-terrain vehicle GAZ-33088 was introduced. In June 2014 GAZ presented a new version, with the unofficial name of Sadko Next with an increased carrying capacity of 3 tons, and also the new version of GAZ-3309.[6]

Since 2000, the GAZ-3307 and 3309 have been used by various companies to create truck variations with extended frames for mounting vans, hauling cars, and moving other machinery. An increase in the size of the mounting frame is fully utilized by increasing the effective length and scope of the body, which is beneficial for transporting long and bulk cargoes. Some variations featured an elongated cabin with berth for intercity traffic.
