The special edition includes 320 vehicles: 80 vehicles of each three most popular GAZelle-BUSINESS modifications: panel van (including vehicles with a double cabin), drop-side trucks and minibuses, as well as 80 Sobol-BUSINESS minibuses and vans.

The vehicles have a full set of existing options: power windows, fog lights, electrically-operated mirrors, cruise control, stereo with USB connection and controls on the steering wheel.

A number of options have been introduced for the first time in the special edition batch: accumulator battery of higher capacity (85 Ah), aluminum side panels in a drop-side truck, a rectangular tent of increased height and others. By the end of the year the new options will be offered to all buyers of GAZ vehicles.

The special edition will be easily recognizable in the traffic flow by its interesting color and texture solutions: silver radiator grille, wheel disks painted with silver metallic paint and black wheel covers. The vehicles are painted charcoal (“Titan” color) which was included in the colors range of GAZ light commercial vehicles at the end of 2011. The seats with a new adjustment system will provide additional comfort for the driver and the passengers.

“The special edition demonstrates all the best features of today’s GAZ vehicles”, said GAZ Group President&CEO Bo Andersson. “We have been introducing improvements almost every month for the last two years. After GAZelle-BUSINESS was launched in 2010 we have broadened the powertrain range. We have started installing diesel and bi-fuel gas-petrol engines. Then we introduced zinc-coating of the underbody and cabins, and launched new processes of prime coating. Zinc-coated hinges of rear doors, a new rear spring, a double cabin mount and wiring attachment, exhaust pipes, unions and couplings of the vehicle control system – these are just a few of the changes we made last year. In this batch of vehicles we will also offer for the first time a number of new solutions that will be later launched into mass production”.
