The history of gas begins with the late twenties of the last century. In March 1929, the Council of the National Economy Soviet Union Signed a decree on the start of construction of a new one in the near location from Nizhny Novgorod. The start of construction started in early May 1930. In connection with the resulting settlement near the new building in 1931, a car plant was created, and by January 1, 1932, gas was built.

But at first, he was named the Nizhny Novgorod auto plaster. Molotova.

The prototype of the first Nizhny Novgorod cars served american cars Ford. Gas car A was developed on the basis of "Ford A", as a basis ("half a gun") was taken by the American truck "Ford AA". Cars were like "Americans", but still had their own outlines - the head of the Nizhny Novgorod design group to make its adjustment in the development of projects.

In October, Nizhny Novgorod is renamed Gorky, then changes the name and automobile plant - it becomes Gorky.

Gas quickly gains momentum - in 1933 it is developed and launched into a series of bus GAZ 03 30. Almost simultaneously on the basis of gas A, a pickup is created, the metal body of which is capable of carrying cargo to 500 kg.

The following year appears 3-axle AAA gas. In 1935, the gas has already produced 100,000 cars, and this event was an important date in the history of the plant.

In 1936, the plant proceeds to release. As the basis of the "black funnel" is taken by the "Fords" model V8-40. This machine was carried out in the first war years, it was discontinued in 1943. On the basis of GAZ M1, a new model of GAZ 11 73 is created, on which the gas engine was installed. This motor has a long history - in the future they were well completed well known.

Conveyor for the production of engines for gas trucks

To the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the plant gas mastered about two dozen different modifications and produced almost half a million cars different types. 70 percent of all cars produced in the Soviet Union before the war accounted for the share of the Gorky Auto Plant.

This looks like model Volga 31105

But this time she lasted on the conveyor for a long time - in 2009, the "Volga" assembly line was fully cooled. There was another attempt to put on the flow of Volga Siber, but this project failed, having existed for about a year.

Cars under the brand name "Gas" will furridge the immense space of Russia, CIS countries and boldly go to an international rally. For more than 80 years Gorky automotive factory released more than 18 million passenger and trucks. Gas vans of various modifications are delivered by mail and goods, various modifications Minibuses deliver children to schools, patients in hospitals, trucks are in demand in construction, energy companies and in airport enterprises. High quality characteristics, maneuverability and versatility of the design allows them to be used in commercial, social and industrial purposes.

In the cab cabins there was a relatively large angular entrance door. Also in the doorway was a shelter covered with Savan. The door opened in the direction of the car. The back of the cabin was rounded and equipped with firearms. Next to the gun was a spare bike, which covered most of the wall. On the roof of the cabin in its rear part there was a completely rotating bridge. There was a round yard with the same flooring.

There were three shields around the perimeter. In her ceiling there was a round crown, which was closed with a one-sided convex hatch. The damper in the hatch was supposed to provide more inner space and easier machine gun. Artillery made it possible to limit the movement of the machine gun without the need to turn the entire battle, which was very practical in battle.

The history of the Gorky automotive plant began in 1932, the first "graduate" of the conveyor became gAZ-AA truck. Since then, constructors have developed more than 40 basic models Cargo and passenger cars, special vehicles and buses, even more of their modifications and experienced structures. Today, the model range of gas is represented by light commercial cars "Gazelle" and "Sable" (family and Next families), the Menon NEXT and Valdai Trucks, Sadko's high-pass vehicles. Gas occupies a leading place in Russia for the production of light commercial vehicles: the share of gas in the Russian market of light commercial vehicles - about 50%, in the segment medium-connected trucks - about 70%. Gas is also one of the leaders of the domestic autocomponent market.

The radio was connected to a galloping rhythm antenna, which, installed on six supports, surrounded the entire cab. The car consisted of two people, the driver and commander, who also served as the shooter and raider. With this version, you could replace the classic steel wheels, and the car could follow the rails as a search or armed escort for military trains. Road wheels were suspended on the hips and cabins, one on each side and two backwards. Replacing all four wheels did not kill more than 30 minutes from the crew.

However, the weight of the railway wagon rose to 2, 78 tons. The brightest change was the installation of a new lobby with inclined stitches, which better resisted impacts. For new radio stations, first antennas were first used, but later they began to establish more modern and simple antenna rods. There was also an intersection of the fuselage deck from the original 6-9 millimeters.

The path to leadership in its niche was not easy for the Gorky auto plant: the transition from the planned economy to the market put the plant before the threat of crisis. Adapting to new market conditions, in November 1992, the Gorky Automotive Plant was transformed into an open joint-stock company (OJSC). N. A. Pugin was elected president of OAO GAZ. In the post-pre-stroke period, the gas emphasized on the release of the Volga passenger cars instead of the fourth-generation medium-room diesel models: GAZ-4301, GAZ-3306 and GAZ-3309. The production volume of the famous Volga increased from 70 to 125 thousand cars per year.

Armament, ammunition and power units have not changed. Nevertheless, the fuel volume increased to 90 liters due to the fact that the operating radio station rose to 450 km along the road and 335 km in the field. Changes led to an increase in weight of more than 200 kg for a total amount of 2, 52 tons.

However, these machines participated in the fight against the Japanese on the Chalch-goal River at the Mando-Mongolian border and in the Winter War against Finland. During the last conflict, a total of 22 of these cars fell into the hands of the Finnish army, which was subsequently seized into its weapons and was used before the closure of the Soviet Union.

The new decade has made its own adjustments to the activities of the plant: in 2001, Gas became part of the Ruspromawau automotive holding (from 2005 - GAZ Group) and became its baseline. Restructuring made it possible to increase the profitability of the plant.

After a number of experiments with the release of various modifications of passenger cars, the gas was fully focused on trucks and buses. The presence in the passenger segment is provided by assembling foreign brands.

So, in addition to the development and release of your own model Row Car, gas conducts cooperation with international automakers Volkswagen and Daimler. Since 2013, gas in contract assembly is issued cars Skoda. Yeti, Volkswagen Jetta and Skoda Octavia., as well as commercial cars Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The release of cars is organized in the full cycle mode, including all major technological steps: welding, painting, assembly.

In less than two years, these cars fought against the Wehrmacht moving on the Soviet Earth. Due to the weight of the sixmillimeter armor, some heavy machine guns stood before weapons. Another disadvantage was a wheel chassis, which previously estimated the car for movement along the road or other solid surface. The appearance of a car with a clearer landscape was insignificant. The builders began to work with its deployment, especially on the western side of the border, on land with a good road movement.

The rapidly developing economy of the Soviet Union also needed access to its own, and especially cheap, vehicles, both personal and supply. At the same time, knowing that new plants will need a lot of time to develop their own design, Ford works with us.

The plant also established the production of autocomponents (PowerTrain systems, control systems, body elements, equipment, blacksmithing parts, cast iron and color casting). In this direction, gas also works in conjunction with European autocomponent enterprises: Bosal (exhaust systems of exhaust) and BULTEN (fasteners), there is a release of stamped parts for Daimler and crankshaft castings for the production of row four-cylinder Ford engines. Thanks to the industrial partnership, the capacity of the enterprise was modernized, the best standards of world auto industry were mastered and new opportunities were created to localize components.

At the same time, Russian designers constantly worked on their ideas, which, on the one hand, would improve cars already issued, and on the other hand, created a completely new model. In addition, the effects of fully custom car were not forced to wait for so long.

The Red Army needs multitasking vehicles that could move in heavy locality and at the same time could, for example, pull the gun, could install a machine gun on it. In addition to SUVs at the factory, tanks, self-propelled guns, armored vehicles and even rocket plants, usually known as Katyusha, were also made.

In the domestic automotive industry, gas occupies a special place - this is the only plant in Russia, which produces the widest range of trucks, special equipment and autocomponents.

Gas like brand

Products Gorky Plant. Finds the use of the CIS and Far Abroad in Russia. Among the clients of gas in the segment of components - more than 200 companies: not only automakers and machine builders, but also transport and construction companies, airport enterprises, electric power industry and others.

Early production of one of the most popular soviet models Twentieth century - Volga. Simultaneously with the production of passenger cars, trucks and delivery facilities were made. From passenger cars, vans to heavy trucks, buses and various specialized equipment.

Formally membership will become a reality next month. For many Russian companies, this will definitely be a huge shock. For others - unique opportunity Fully cover global markets, which, on the basis of reciprocity, will open doors for Russian products.

According to the results of the study of the world's largest brand-consulting agency Interbrand, the Gazelle brand is recognized as one of the strongest Russian brands. For three years in a row, gas ranks first in the rating of dealers' satisfaction rating, which is conducted by the company Ernst & Young. Due to the wide prevalence of service centers, spare parts, high qualifications of specialists in 93% of cases, car repair is carried out in one day.

A significant question: "What can be a Russian hit that will conquer the world?". At that time they invited Henry Ford to help build a huge factory. Over the years, the plant has become famous all over the world, and the Limousine of Communist Sanovnikov became his cult product - the famous seagull.

Currently, the plant belongs to the Russian oligarch Oleg Diripaska. In the 1990s, he undertook an unsuccessful attempt to start the production of domestic car brands. This leads to a profitable return on an still profitable Russian domestic market. The Swede accepted a challenge, but he also established hard conditions, especially in "zero tolerance for corruption". These steps made Anderssson is not confident - to put it mildly - the most popular person in the area.

Cars gas regularly test their endurance, participating in the Rally Raid "Silk Road". This year, the Gazelle NEXT car became a silver medalist of the V stage of the Russian Raidam Championship.

Changing generations

Gas is continuous operation on the introduction of its own developments. In 2013, the production of cars of the new family NEXT began. New ruler The techniques are designed with the use of advanced technical solutions of international automotive industry and taking into account the characteristics of operation in difficult weather and road conditions. The production of a new family began in 2013 from the release of a light commercial vehicle "Gazelle Next", from the on-board model with standard and elongated options for platforms. Based on the base model by 2016, a complete line of commercial equipment was created with a complete mass of 2.8 to 5 tons, including cargo-passenger modifications with a double row, frame buses for 19 seats, all-metal vans and minibuses, as well as special equipment.

It moves to protect even indoors. Nevertheless, all this brought impressive results. Oleg Diripska is confident. According to him, "the leadership lesson who has undergone in the last three years, is invaluable capital to fight global competition."

This allows employees to improve self-service support system, raising performance by 20%. Also available for download full-featured 30-day trial version of individual products. During this period, the car was upgraded several times, and the exterior design has changed. Three modes, called "Star", "Shark" and "Kitoboboy".

Fanuc robots in the car assembly process.

At the international exhibition IAA-2016 in Hannover, a line of products of the new family NEXT, offering multifunctional transport solutions for different species Business, Industry and Passenger Transportation: The onboard car "Gazelle Next", a lifting capacity of 1.5 tons, "Lawn Next" - a new-term cargo car of the new generation, designed to transport goods in the city and at intercity routes, car carrying capacity - up to 5 tons, " Lawn Next CNG "- medium-room cargo vehicle with an engine running on a compressed natural gas.

As the basis, the aggregates of "Victory" were collected. Some of them were completely processed, others remained unchanged. Volga has its own, for something unlike the form. Also changed the design of the rear axle. Radiator fitting, front bumper and labels have been changed. Launched a new smaller radio depener. The rear was equipped with rubber shock absorbers. On the back of the front seats, soft holders and passengers with ashtray were installed. Rear lights are equipped with reflective elements.

There was a windshield washer mechanism. In addition to external changes, the plant has developed new technologies: now the bodies have been primed by immersing them in the primer. This significantly increased the resistance to corrosion of the machine. New models also received new indices.

Another pride of the plant is the minibus "Gazelle Next" on the basis of a all-metal van. Bus S. spacious salon With panoramic glazing accommodates 17 passengers. For their comfort, an underestimated footboard and sliding door with an electric drive in high opening are answered. Buses will be made with three types of engines: diesel, gasoline and gas-gasoline. The bus was created as part of the "Affordable City Wednesday" program.

Run telescopic shock absorbers instead of lever and new oil filters. Front seat It was upgraded. Third generation cars were distinguished by a radiator lattice, bumper, bottom finish, factory labeling, bookmarks, rear lanterns and back lantern. Most of the falling detail, which became the symbol of the Volga itself, the dancing deer also disappeared from the hood. New materials used for interior decoration. Together with the new bumper, towing hooks appeared ahead. The engine and improved front suspension were significantly improved.

In 2016, the "Gazel Next all-metal van" was noted in the segment of low-tonnage technology in the competition "Best Commercial Car of the Year in Russia-2016".

Comprehensive success

Over the past few years, the company, as part of the preparation of new models, was seriously modernized at all major production stages: stamping, welding, painting and assembly of equipment.

The automated line of stamping of large-sized parts is equipped with the latest multifunctional six-sighted KUKA robots of the last generation and presss with a specially completed LG stamp equipment. Creating a new line made it possible to ensure high accuracy of the manufacture of parts and high performance.

Now the telescopic shock absorbers were installed on all cars. Together with the performance of the third show on the streets, "Volga" was released. The 22nd Volga was also made like plumbing. The car has received reinforced front suspension and bearing front wheels. The front seat was upgraded: lowered pillow and adjustable back. Increased power of the cabin heater, improved wipers. The design of the water pump has been changed to improve the engine temperature.

Only the latter were slightly improved - more powerful, had a more worldly transmission. The production process itself cannot be called serial production, as only about 150 models were selected for the year. At that time he had a luxurious and very spacious interior, as well as electrical windows. At the beginning of the production, engineers offered various options. It was proposed to install the engine at the end of the car, but because of the big "modernization" it was left. Another proposal was to produce a Volga with large missiles, but technical reasons This proposal was rejected.

New welding line allows in automatic mode produce a body of various modifications of vans. At the plots installed modern robots Fanuc with a carrying capacity of up to 700 kilograms. Each robot alone by changing the equipment, can perform operations for the transportation of parts, welding, offlating, applying adhesives and sealants. The welding line also includes new tracks of suspended pushing conveyors and automated systems for feeding components.

Engineer Jeremy won. Secondly, when moving at a high speed, the figure "deer" led the great air twisting, which endured all the dirt straight on the ventilation hole. Finally, due to child safety, because after a collision, this figure became fatal weapons. In addition, lung lights and ambulances have been developed in these models.

Another interesting thing is the salon "Volga", where the seats are so thick, that they make a pretty big bed. So the Volga became the best symbol of the Gorky Automobile Plant throughout history. In the car used 3, 48 liters of engine power. The car had four transmissions - three forward and one reversing mechanism. It was the first in automotive industryTo install a hydraulic coupling that provided a smooth transition from the second transfer to the place, without fear that the engine will work.

Gazelle Next is the best commercial car 2016 in Russia.

The color of cars of the NEXT family is held in the newest complexequipped with equipment german company Eisenmann. For each vehicle modification, a special coloring program has been developed, which provides for a certain trajectory of movement of robots in six coordinates in all planes, which allows you to evenly paint the body and ensure high corrosion protection.

When designing the body, engineers focused on its strength, resistance and deformation. Engineers also managed to adapt backseat To three passengers, expanding the back of the body, and thus the car received a bumpy rear wings. The trim saddles were installed in the cockpit. The middle seats allowed to install the front seats, leaving the rear seat for passengers not more than 1, 5 meters in space at the time. The front seats were not regulated, which made it difficult to work larger drivers.

In the salon for limousines in the classroom there was also a turn, a 3-diagonal radio, an electric lighter and an ashtray. They had a glass partition that separated the driver from the cabin, two folding seats and bootloader. The exposition is open to the autumn of the modern Lithuanian technical museum, on the right bank of the Neris River, next to Mindaugas Bridge.

The work of the plant is built on a special manufacturing system of GAZ implemented in 2003. The system developed based on the principles of Toyota Product System allows to increase production efficiency with maximum orientation on the consumer, excluding all types of losses and involving each employee into the organization of improvements in production. The leaders of various sectors of the Russian economy are studying the experience of implementing the production system on gas.

HISTORY OF OPEN JOINT STOCK COMPANY "GAZ" (previously "Gorky Automotive Plant") originated in 1929 March 4, 1929 It was decided to the ENGS USSR and signed an order for the construction of a car plant. April 6, 1929the decision was approved on the choice of the area of \u200b\u200bconstruction of the future Automobile Plant - near the city of Nizhny Novgorod.

What passenger cars produced by a gas plant?

GAZ-A.

Gas-A is a passenger car of the middle class with an open 5-seater 4-door body type of Phaeton. A licensed copy of the Ford-A car, the equipment and documentation for the production of which were purchased by the Soviet government in the United States in 1929 at Ford Motor Company.

The first Soviet passenger car mass conveyor assembly. Released from 1932 to 1936 at the Gorky Automobile Plant and from 1933 to 1935 at the Moscow Plant Kim. The first two cars were collected on December 8, 1932. A total of 41,917 cars were released.

M-1 (EMKA) - Soviet passenger car, produced at the Gorky Automobile Plant from 1936 to 1943.

During the Great Patriotic War at the factory, individual specimens from the existed details were gathered.

The car has become one of the symbols of his era, played a significant role in the war years, as it was one of the most common models of passenger cars in the country and was used very widely.

In total, 62,888 copies were made.

"Victory" is a cult Soviet car, mass produced at the Gorky Automobile Plant in 1946-1958. Factory index model - M-20.

The first Soviet passenger car with carrier body And one of the world in the world of large-scale-produced with a body of a completely pontoon type - without protruding wings and their rudiments, footage and headlights.

On June 28, 1946, the serial release of Victory cars began. A total of 235.999 cars were released, including 14.222 convertibles and 37.492 taxi.

Winters (until 1957), GAZ-12 - Soviet six-bed six-foam long-beaded large sedan, serially produced at the Gorky Automobile Plant (Molotov Plant) from 1949 to 1959 (some modifications - in 1960)

Winter is the first representation model of the Gorky Automobile Plan. Predecessor "Seagulls" GAZ-13. Basically, he was used as a service car ("Striking"), intended for the Soviet, party and governmental nomenclature - at the level of the Minister, the Secretary of the Regional Committee and the Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee and above, in some cases was sold to personal use.

In total from 1949 to 1959, 21,527 WIN / GAZ-12 copies of all modifications were released.

GAZ-21 "Volga" - the Soviet passenger car of the middle class, produced at the Gorky Automobile Plant from 1956 (1957) to 1970. The factory code index - initially gas-M-21, later (since 1965) - GAZ-21. In total, 639478 copies of all modifications were released.

GAZ-13 "Chaika" - Soviet representative (representative) car of a large class, produced by a small series at the Gorky Automobile Plant C 1959 to 1981.

In total, 3,189 cars of this model were made.

GAZ-14.

GAZ-14 "Chaika" - Soviet representative passenger car of a large class, manual assembly at the Gorky Automobile Plant C 1977 to 1988.

GAZ-22.

GAZ-22 "Volga" - Soviet passenger car of the middle class with a cargo-passenger body of the type of station wagon. Serially was produced from 1962 to 1970 at the GAZ factory in the city of Gorky. Equipped with a five-door carrier body with a 5-7-seater transformed salon. Basic car - Sedan GAZ-21P Third Series. GAZ-22 (Early editions - GAZ-M-22) was indicated as a cargo-passenger separate model (Thus, "GAZ-21" did not exist). GAZ-22 had various modifications, and the ambulance carrier was produced on its basis and (other plants and workshops) GAZ-22A van.

GAZ-22 is one of the first crossovers in the world.

GAZ-24 "Volga" - soviet car Middle class, serially produced at the Gorky Automobile Plant from 1970 to 1985

GAZ-24-10 "Volga" - the passenger car of the middle class, producing the Gorky Automobile Plant. By its essence, GAZ-24-10 is a palliative version of the modernization of GAZ-24 based on the model of more deep upgrades GAZ-3102, deploying the large-scale release of which was artificially blocked at the level of the sectoral ministry. Produced from the end of 1985 and until the spring of 1992, when it was replaced by the GAZ-31029 model, which was a version of GAZ-3102, adapted for mass release.

Since the release of the car coincided with many transformations in the country (the era of restructuring), it entered the story as the first Volga available to a wider range of persons, including to purchase in private hands (unlike GAZ-24 and especially GAZ-3102) . But at the same time saved relatively high quality Assembly (if compared with the successors of GAZ-31029 and even GAZ-3110).

GAZ-3102 "Volga" - Soviet passenger car of a large class, produced serially from April 1982 to 2008 by the Gorky automotive factory. Developed on the basis of the car GAZ-24 "Volga", GAZ-3102 was supposed to become its successor.

However, according to a number of political and economic reasons, this project was produced by a small series (about three thousand cars per year), instead mass production, exclusively as a service car by the Soviet middle-link nomenclature. These were the posts that the exclusive Limousine GAZ-14 "Seagull" was not yet available, but the status required the allocation of the total flow. Such were the deputy ministers, director of large trusts and enterprises, heads of famous theaters, generals, prominent academicians laureates, editors of publications, directors, etc.

GAZ-31105 "Volga" - Russian passenger car, produced serially on the conveyor from 2004 to 2009 on the Gorky Auto Plant.

In fact, the 105th is an improved version of GAZ-3110. Among improvements: the cordless front wheel suspension, the transverse stability stabilizer of the rear wheel suspension, as well as an improved gearbox. Condimensional and appearance of the car: instead of angular front headlights, dripped, replaced radiator grille, front wings, hood and front bumper.

In 2005-2007 Under the order was produced by the version of the Business Class GAZ-311055 with an elongated 300 mm wheelbase and elongated 150 mm doors.

GAZ-3111 "Volga" - Russian passenger car business class (E2 segment european classification), produced experimentally in 1998-2004 by Gorky Automobile Plant.

GAZ-3105 "Volga" - the passenger car of the large (e) class with an elevated level of comfort, produced from 1992 to 1996 at the capacity of the Gorky Automobile Plan.

Volga Siber (Volga Saibey) is a Russian mid-size sedan, manufactured from 2008 to 2010.

Presented russian company "Gas Group" at the Interautoto 2007 exhibition in Moscow on August 29, 2007 as Gaz Siber. In the future, the trade name of the model has been changed to the Volga Siber.

It was founded in 1932. It specializes in the release of passenger, trucks, minibuses, military equipment and other vehicles.

Already in 2005, the Avtozavod was recognized as one of the largest in Russia. The company combines two divisions. Thanks to them, the work of the whole plant is organized. One of them carries out the assembly of vehicles, the second - is engaged in the production of details.

Every year the amount of products produced becomes much more. At the moment, the plant exports technique in more than 30 countries of the world. The main sales markets are Africa, America, Asia, Eastern Europe.

GAZ-A.

The car enters the middle class category. The body is designed for four people, the doors as much. In fact, the car has become a formal copy american car Ford Model A. In 1929, all rights to assemble such vehicle were bought by the Soviet government. This machine is the first, which was launched into the mass assembly. A little more than 40 thousand copies have come off the conveyor.

Like many models of gas, this car is equipped with a tank for 40 liters. The gearbox has three steps. The power of the engine installed is 40 liters. from. The maximum speed that the machine can develop is 113 km / h. Up to 80 km / h engine is able to accelerate in 30 seconds.

GAZ-AA

"Onespoon" (still so called this car) represents cargo models of gas. She was released the very first - from the conveyor designed in 1932. Load capacity is 1.5 tons. It was planned that the car would be an analogue of American models Ford.But following the results, was collected according to the drawings of Soviet designers.

Engine, which has a capacity of 40 liters. s., Works in a pair with mechanical box Transmissions. The car is capable of developing the maximum speed of 70 km / h. At 100 km, as a rule, about 20 liters of fuel is consumed.

GAZ-61.

Models of gas that have a category of high passability are in great demand to this day. The first car is GAZ-61. The first copy of the conveyor in 1941 was completed in 1945. It must be said that this model was the first in the world produced with a closed body, the sedan category. It was equipped with a complete drive for all the wheels. The car really coped well with the passage of hard-to-reach roads.

The machine is presented in three bodies: sedan, pickup and phaeton. The engine that was equipped with a model has a capacity of 85 liters. from. Gearbox - mechanical. The maximum speed is 105 km / h. The machine is capable of transporting up to 400 kg. About 17 liters of gasoline is spent 100 km. And the tank is designed for 60 liters.

GAZ-03-30.

Some gas models are buses. The first such instance can be called the index 03-30. It was produced from 1933 to 1950. A total of a little less than 20 thousand models have been created. In general, the bus weighs 2.2 tons. The maximum speed is 65 km / h. Places for passengers - 17. Engine power - 50 liters. from. Transmission is mechanical. Gears - four.

New Models Gas.

Photo cars can be seen in the article, but first it is necessary to talk about their technical characteristics.

• Gazelle "Business". Minibus 2016 release is excellent commercial car. It does not require careful care and attention, only regular maintenance. Minibus is functional and comfortable. At the same time, its exterior has pleasant shades. The body got the attractive forms. The interest of the drivers can one of the modifications of the car. It is used, as a rule, for the transport of passengers, that is, as public transport. Salon freely accommodates about 12 people. In the car there is a heating system, which certainly will not give anyone to freeze winter. The machine is completed with several types of engines. One of them is designed for 2.4 l, maximum power - 133 liters. from. The second has a volume of 2.9 l, the load force - 106 "horses". Mechanical type gearbox.
• New model Gas "Volga". Photo of the car 5000 GL can be seen slightly lower. The appearance has specific notes that will probably like each motorist. The car received a slightly low roof. The manufacturer has created such an attractive vehicle that it can be performed for racing Machinethan for family. However, although it was represented in 2012, to this day there are no news of her outlet.
• What will help externally evaluate new gas models? Photo! Passenger or trucks - What are the great demand? Immediately answer this question is impossible, as it is necessary to repel from the destination. For example, a car with an index 3308 has long been interested in commercial firms. It is not only encouraged by an exterior, but also has good characteristics. With ease, this car transports up to 4.5 tons of cargo. Under the hood is the engine, the power of which is 117 liters. from. It works in a pair with a manual gearbox. It has 5 steps. The maximum speed is 95 km / h.

It also fully complies with EURO-2 standards. The gearbox is five-speed. The car is available in three versions: with a regular platform, elongated and double-row cabin. The salon is distinguished by increased comfort, it will be pleasant in it. The control panel is convenient, it never arises with it. Car stroke smooth. Brake system Domestic, functions as accurately as possible and fails.
• New "Lawn Nex". One of the well-known modifications of this model was issued as a result of the order of Vladimir Putin in 2014. Comfortable, convenience, functionality - all at the best level, so drivers immediately became interested new model domestic manufacturer. In the modern generation, the car received updated, engine, transmission, control, interior. The brake system was also improved. Motor complies with Euro-4 standards. Cabin triple. According to reviews, we can say that in the cold the engine never stalls. Works stable, there are no complaints.

In conclusion, I would like to say that gas is a successful automotive manufacturer. He has long earned trust, and respect of the domestic buyer. And most importantly, the price and quality have an optimal ratio.

Gorky Automobile Plant (Gas) was built in 1932. For a long time I was the largest manufacturer of automotive equipment in the USSR. At the beginning of this century, the car facility entered the largest autoholding of Russia called "Gas Group". Holding, which brings together 13 auto enterprises, develops and produces passenger cars, trucks of medium and heavy loading capacity, buses, as well as power units and automotive components.

All products manufactured under the gas brand has the following main advantages:

1. Modern design.
2. Security.
3. Reliability.
4. Affordable price.
5. Economical operation.

The autumn of the current year at special events in time of the State Council in Ulyanovsk and in the framework of the international auto investment of the ComTrans-17 "GAZ Group" presented a whole line of new models of auto-production vehicles in 2017-2018. Among the inserted samples should be noted the following vehicles.

This urban bus is designed for operation on routes with a high passenger flux. With a length of 12 m, it has a capacity of 108 passengers.

The main feature of the model 5292 CNG is the installation of the NMZ-530 gas motor. These power units have a capacity of 286.0 liters. from. and correspond to environmental Standard "EURO-5", which is very important in the conditions of urban exploitation.

In addition, the buset includes:

• aBS system;
• steering hydraulic;
• Automatic transmission;
• body slope device for the purpose of comfortable landing and disembarking passengers.

The LIAZ-5292 CNG salon is equipped with special anti-vandal chairs, covered with wear-resistant material, information route table, autonomous heater and video surveillance cameras.

Communication of the bus S. gas engine Scheduled at the beginning of 2018, while the cost depending on the equipment will begin from 7.0 million rubles.

Gazelle Next Citiline.

Citiline is new bus Small class with a capacity of 21 people. Designed primarily for suburban routes, but can also be used to work on urban transport.

The main feature of this bus is the presence of a reinforced power frame in the body structure, on which mounted elements from fiberglass and durable galvanized steel are installed. Such a body allowed us to expand the minibus volume, which automatically generates improved passenger comfort. This is confirmed by the following dimensions (M):

• length - 6.08;
• height - 2.72;
• width - 2.53;
• wheel database - 3.75.

A minibus is equipped with a four-cylinder engine, 2.80 l and a capacity of 120.0 liters. from. This allows a pair with a five-speed MCPP to reach speeds of 110 km / h.

Among the equipment that is equipped with Citiline should be allocated:

• lED lighting salon;
• improved driving seat with side support and armrest;
• new location and design handrails;
• underestimated passenger platform for entering output;
• swivel entrance door equipped with an electromechanical drive;
• increased power heating system Salon.

Gas began to release this bus in the third quarter of 2017, and its cost begins from 1.5 million rubles (modifications for the city).

Wear Next

New Car Wear is an off-road cargo pickup with a full drive. When developing this pick-up, a gas-sadko car was taken as the basis. Wear NEXT stands out for aggressive and powerful external speciesSo that fully meets the status of the SUV.

The key features of the car should be called the presence of a double-row seven cabin and a metal platform with a folding back side. Pickup received the following overall dimensions:

• length - 6.43 m;
• wheel database - 3.77 m;
• width - 2.27 m;
• height - 2.60.

Off-road properties of the car are formed due to the following points:

• high ground clearance (31.5 cm);
• reduced transmission of KP;
• systems for adjusting air pressure in tires;
• self-locking differentials of both bridges;
• 18-inch wheels with accommodated rubber.

Powerful diesel power unit with a capacity of 149.0 liters. from. Provides load capacity of 2.50 tons, and speed up to 115 km / h

The beginning of the production of a new off-road pick-up is scheduled for the end of 2017, and its cost will start from 2.0 million rubles.

Conclusion

Presented on the official autumn events of novelties of cars and buses Gas scheduled for release for 2017-2018, indicate the management policy of the model range and hobbies held by the management of the holding of this product.

The car Volga 5000 GL is a vehicle that is currently never transferred to mass production. To speak more precisely, the first information about him appeared in 2012. It was then that the company's prototype concept of a car appeared on the official website of the company, which was supposed to open a new production era for the domestic auto industry.

Design of the new Volga GAZ 5000 GL

After that, there were 2 more similar presentations, but it did not move with a dead point. The release of the first series of Volga 5000 GL was produced in 2017.

If you try to find information about the new model of the 2018 concern, there is a lot of commercial ads. And there will be a couple of references to the Volga 5000 GL car without special specifics.

New Volga project 5000 GL

Over the years, and the Gorky Automotive Plant leads its emitting since 1932, its cars were riding chic in the USSR space. The party tip loved comfortable and representative "Volga". And among the population of the Soviet Union, the black model of the series was a believed dream, a continuing symbol of prestige and the object of the black envy of the deprived car enthusiasts.

The Soviet people knew that the new Volga would be necessarily better than all. Much has changed after the fall of the "iron curtain" when imported cars appeared on the roads. Currently, the situation with the gas passengers is not easy. Cars for commerce (light trucks - universal) are published on the fore, and the development of passenger cars is warm at the Nizhny Novgorod enterprise. Will something new in 2017? Time will tell.

Volga 5000 GL Rear View

Unfortunately, the network has a poor set of information regarding the technical characteristics of the concept of the future car from gas. If you judge the vehicle that was presented at the 2014 exhibition, then the engine will be installed in a total of 3.2 liters, the total capacity of which will be a little less than 300 horsepower. Mechanical, 6-speed. Naturally, it was planned to release a variation of a car and with an automatic transmission, but such a prototype did not show the public.

Specifications indicated that in the Volga 5000 GL planned to use an independent suspension to 2 drives. Even a visual car more and reminds family car From among KIA CEED, in terms of operation, it is almost a full-fledged SUV.

Volga Salon Design Option 5000 GL

It can be said that the manufacturer was originally focused on the Russian consumer market. Conducted by some journalists Volga GAZ 5000 GL test just on this and indicates. Back in 2014, engineers who represented the concept of a new car focused on the fact that the stated specifications are not final.

That is, if the vehicle is still and comes from the conveyor, then its final appearance will differ dramatically with presented at the exhibition. And exactly what, perhaps, there will be a Volga gas 5000 GL, sets the main tone of intrigue. In 2012 it was stated that the car will be released in 2014. The manufacturer did not hide the fact that Chinese companies are involved in partly developing the concept.

GAZ 5000 GL design option

To some extent it could be the cause of the delay of the rest of the news. Maybe gas planned to release at the same time two variations of the car, each of which would be focused on their consumer market (Chinese and Russian). Now it makes sense to judge this and should be waiting for official news or applications for presentation.

Cooked, sort of new hope - Gas Volga 5000GL. Regarding this concept of issues a lot. In addition, in addition to the pictures (some consider them a product of computer graphics) and a small description of TTX, gas has no information for a long time.

So the Volga 5000 GL looks like

According to the emerging information, it will be a sedan on the all-wheel drive chassis with an absolutely new engine in 296 horses and a 6-speed gearbox. The volume of cylinders is expected in 3.2 liters. The beginning of its release was called 2012 (that is, the pictures are already idle on the networks for quite a long time). The next time limit of the conveyor was expected in 2014. I have not happened yet.
It is worth considering that visually these images resemble electric chevrolet volts. So, if the gas will launch this model in 2015 into the series, it will probably be very different from the images presented in the images.

Volga concept capabilities 5000 GL

If you believe those who still managed to try on a prototype of a new car, then the new Volga GAZ 5000 was not inferior to Western counterparts. The exception is only the cost of the car.


The manufacturer did not talk about the exact amount, but indicated that it would be equal to the exclusive class of the European consumer market. And this is for comparison, about 120 thousand dollars. It is so much that you have to give a traditional consumer class for the Mercedes. As far as the specified price is overestimated, it is now difficult to judge, as the car itself can only be considered on the presentation of the prototype. And there is a computer graphics, and not the car itself. And the Volga is 5000 GL, which was demonstrated by the general public, was undershot.

It has almost completely absent elements. independent suspensionThere was no side computer that would regulate the operation of the engine on different settings, and the electronics itself was completely absent.

In fact, it was a motor, body and a flawed suspension, for which little about which can be judged.

5000 GL Volga trunk design

Conduct on 5000 GL test drive got the opportunity for only a few journalists, higher rank officials. Unfortunately, none of them did not express a loyal attitude towards the car, the network is that it is the prototype that there is still a lot of work and make some conclusions too early. It should be noted that at the end of 2015 the roller appeared on the network, which indicated that the car would be released on the consumer market in 2017. However, after the emergence of this publication, other news was not.

Now there is an opinion that gas 5000 GL will be hybrid. That is, it will work simultaneously from the electric and gasoline engine. Such a complete set will dramatically reduce the amount of fuel consumed up to 3-4 liters per 100 km of the path (when used power aggregate In 300 horsepower). But all these guesses. What kind of engineers are working on now, remains unknown.

External Design Volga GAZ 5000 GL

Car design Kia Ceed

Above not in vain, the Kia Ceed car was mentioned, which enjoys great popularity in the European car industry market. The first presented concept was quite similar to it visually, but not in technical Plan. Body 5-door, with a huge trunk. However, the clearance of the national car was significantly less, and the engine itself is moved forward.

Due to this, it was possible to put the tires of the huge diameter, which did not rest in the salon itself, as this tradition is done in almost all domestic cars.

That prototype, which was presented in 2015, did not step from the previously stated design. Yes, some third-party body elements appeared on the type of radiator lattice, rear mounting under the anti-collar, but the primary concept remained unchanged.

Option of the Concept Volga GAZ 5000 GL

A 5000 GL-held gas emulation program The test showed that the car has excellent body streaming, but has some drawbacks in terms of the cooling system.
Apparently, the manufacturer has planned to add air intakes that will additionally blow the radiator. Although you can do without it if a hybrid power drive is used. After all, most of the time the gasoline engine is simply not working. It starts automatically only to maintain normal voltage in rechargeable batteries, no more.

Cars "Volga"

But the price of gas is 5000 GL, to be honest, does not correspond to the design presented. The body is not solid, and this is its main drawback. That is, the wings separately, the rear shoes - too, the roof is kept on 6 supports, the front part of the body is also separate.


From such a schematics in Europe have long been moved, considering it too old and irrelevant. Why it was used at the plant gas, remains a mystery. After all, the manufacturer is clearly focused on advanced technologies, and here the use of obsolete mechanics is evident.

Why is the split body - is it bad? Because it decreases streamlining and negatively affects design. By the way, the previously presented Volga Cardi had a similar drawback. That's just B. this car The creative Studio Cardi was answered for the design, and in 5000 GL - exclusively designers from gas.

Despite the fact that in 2014 the "workers" of the Volga 5000 GL were leaked to the network, experts argue that on the presented photos - computer graphics, and not a real image of the vehicle. The same opinion and journalists who were made to spend 5000 GL test drive. By the way, the pictures were made in St. Petersburg, judging by the cards from Google and the specified coordinates.

Should I wait for the release of the Volga

Without a doubt if the Volga is 5000 GL and comes off the conveyor, it will be the most advanced car ever released in the Russian Federation. In any case, it looks more attractive than the latest Lada concepts (refers to the introduction of X-ray into mass production). National autotoprom recently experiences not the best times, as government financing has been reduced several times.

Moreover, now most of the autocontracens are actively purchased at all by foreign companies (for example, Renault and Nissan are already actually owned by VAZ). If the situation does not change, the gas Volga 5000 GL may, and will never be released. But we should not forget that Chinese engineers took part in the auto planning of the car. Those, in turn, can decide on the following:

New Volga Cardi Design

• independent release of the designed concept;
• to buy the rights of further development in gas;
• to create similar and visually, and technically vehicle.

Should I wait for the car? The only thing that scares the possible Russian consumer is the total price. If it really is at the level of 120 thousand dollars, it is unlikely that the car will be popular in the National Auto industry market. But abroad he can expect stalking success. Although here you can mention the existence of the company Marusya Motors, which released several modern sports cars.

World critics appreciated them extremely positive. But why is the company now closed? Because the cost of each of the cars developed was estimated at 2-4 million dollars. And the actual cost was only 300-500 thousand dollars. The company simply worked himself at a loss.

Sports from the company Marusya Motors

The same situation may be formed with the Volga. The only difference is: Marusya is a private project, and therefore funding was third parties, but gas functions depending on the state funding program. And if the experts considered that the Volga is unsuccessful in a commercial plan by a car, then he would simply be removed from the development and implementation.

In general, the situation has developed extremely interesting and incomprehensible. On the one hand, Russian engineers got the opportunity to realize their potential, on the other - for some reason the car did not go into mass production. Hoping hope that in 2017 it will still be released, it should not, because this date has been transferred three times. But the worst is the lack of explicit information about the project.
It is worth mentioning that the authors of the primary concept, that is, everyone learned about in 2012, the brothers are bucins.


That exactly they developed the design and technical filling vehicle. But already in 2014, they moved away from the implementation of this project. Journalists tried to find out whether the work on 5000 GL is being done now, but the brothers assured that they are now engaged in work on an absolutely different car. For them, the new Volga project was completed. And simple motorists remain just followed by the development of the concept and hope that sooner or later it will still appear on Russian roads.
