GAZ-3307 and GAZ-3309 (nicknamed GAZon) are fourth-generation Russian trucks produced by the Gorky Automobile Plant. The GAZ-3307 was announced in late 1989, and the GAZ-3309 was announced at the end of 1994.
The GAZ-3307 is the successor to the GAZ-52/53, the manufacture of which was discontinued in early 1993. These trucks have 4.5 tons carrying capacity and are designed for use on all types of paved roads. The fourth-generation GAZ truck family includes the 5-ton diesel GAZ-4301 (1984-1995) and 3-ton diesel truck GAZ-3306 (1993-1995). Since 1999, Gorky has offered a 2-3 ton, all-wheel drive, all terrain variant, the GAZ Sadko and a 4-ton all-terrain variant, the GAZ-33086 Zemlyak.
History and development
When the GAZ-3307 was designed in the early 1980s, it utilized common assembly techniques and parts found in models of the time (the chassis and engine were derived from the GAZ-53-12), resulting in lower costs and easier maintenance.
The vehicle received a more spacious, modern cab, equipped with an efficient ventilation and heating system. This was first applied in the pilot truck GAZ-4301 in 1984. Testing of the GAZ-3307 was finished in December 1986.
Unlike their predecessors, these trucks had power steering. Serial production of the 4.5-ton GAZ-3307 with the ZMZ-511 engine (an updated version of the ZMZ-53) began in late 1989.
Around 2006, the GAZ-3307, GAZ-3309, and GAZ-3308 received updated petrol and diesel engines that complied with Euro 2 emissions standards, and a further engine update in 2008 ensured Euro 3 compliance. Mass production of the GAZ-3307 and -3308 models with ZMZ engines was discontinued in 2009; however, restricted production continued for government agencies. In 2010–2012, the GAZ-3309 was fitted with a MMZ D-245.7 E-3 diesel engine, and the GAZ-33081 Sadko and GAZ-33086 Countryman variants were fitted with the MMZ D-245.7 E-2 diesel engine. All vehicles produced after 2013 received the MMZ D-245.7 E-4 engine.
Since 2012, the GAZ-33096 was produced with a diesel engine (which was certified under Euro 4 emissions standards in 2013). In February 2013, the GAZ-33098 received a new YaMZ-5342.10 engine, and a new model, the 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 an updated version of the GAZ-3309.
