Gazelle-Next gathered in Europe: a certificate that permits sale in the EU has been received

The GAZ Group received a unified European approval of the type of vehicle for the Gazelle -Next car family, and along with this document, the right to officially supply the model to the European Union countries, reports “Russian machines” Manfred Aibek.

To undergo European certification, the engineers of the model for more than a year have been finishing and testing the car. The compliance of 43 safety requirements was confirmed, and 113 international certificates were received. Now the Gorky Automobile Plant is engaged in the search for dealers.

The Gazelle of the second generation in Nizhny Novgorod began to produce in the spring of 2013, and the version with a double cabin in November. The model is offered with various types of bodies, including a van and a minibus. Prices in Russia start from 725 thousand rubles.

For the first time that they plan to sell a commercial car in Europe in April last year. Then the ex -president of the GAZ Group Bu Andersson noted that the demand for such a car in Europe has long risen - modern commercial cars are becoming better, but more difficult, which means more expensive. "The plumber does not need a premium mini -wen, he needs a workhorse in the body of which you can load tools and materials, get to the client, do work. It is on this field that we see a huge advantage of our new car," he said.

Now Andersson is heading AvtoVAZ, his main project is the launch of the Vesta sedan on the B0 platform.
