kscarbel2 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 GAZ Group Press Release / December 12, 2016 The new GAZon NEXT CNG medium truck has entered into production. The truck is equipped with a state-of-the-art YAMZ-534 CNG powerplant meeting the latest global standards in power, torque, NVH (noise, vibration & harshness), emissions and fuel consumption. Production of the new YAMZ-534 CNG began at GG Yaroslavl Engine Plant on November 12, 2016. The application of compressed natural gas (CNG) reduces fuel costs by 40-50% as compared to the diesel version of the same engine resulting in significant operating efficiency gains. GAZon NEXT is a versatile multi-purpose medium truck designed for city and inter-city transport, vocational, utility and municipal operations. It combines high functionality, payload capacity, competitive price and low cost of ownership. Both standard and four-door "crew cab" configurations are available. With an 8.7 metric ton (19,180 lb) gross vehicle weight (GVW), the GAZon NEXT CNG can carry a 5 metric ton (11,023 lb) payload. The CNG version of the YAMZ-534 engine is rated at 149 horsepower at 2300 rpm, with a maximum torque of 490 Nm available from 1200 to 2100 rpm. Seven 72.8 m3 CNG bottles mounted under the body provide an operating range in excess of 370 kilometers (230 miles). The warranty for GAZon NEXT CNG, like the diesel version, is three years or 150,000 (93,206) kilometers.
