UAZ patented in Rosstandart image vans Pro in version Kombi

Ulyanovsk automobile plant has patented the new cargo van based on the UAZ Pro, whose image posted yesterday in the public domain. According to the preliminary information for the production of fiberglass utility add-in model to answer the Ulyanovsk firm "Автодом73". This bodybuilder is not the first year cooperates with the Ulyanovsk car factory and already certified vans on the chassis of the UAZ a Pro in options the school bus and ambulances.

According to base of Rospatent, the frame of the van is made of steel pipes with subsequent plastic trim panels. The design of the van has two rear and one side door.
Overall dimensions of the wagon are defined in 6150х1990х2500 mm, and the wheelbase is 3500 mm, the rear cargo Bay, judging by the scheme, separated from the passenger compartment to a remote partition and is equipped with gas cylinders and shelves, i.e., is more a maintenance briefing than a family van. This is very much in a similar solution based on the model of GAZel Sobol Combi, which, obviously, UAZ-1288 and is intended to compete.

PS , Many domestic websites have rushed to write that new Kombi UAZ-1288 on the basis of UAZ Pro is designed to directly replace the "Loaf" (obviously, UAZ-3909 "Farmer"), which frankly, seems at least hasty and even unreasonably optimistic. Well, what could be the replacement of all-metal conveyor design ("Loaves") plastic design, and therefore the short-run by definition, but still collect the stacker method? I think that will be announced when the retail price of UAZ-1288, many patriots in the domestic Russian automotive industry will be seriously disappointed. Go significantly to Excel in the market this design will only be obsolete the van-Kombi GAZ Sobol 4x4. And then only while the series will go the new Sobol NEXT, including the all-wheel drive series. Ulyanovsk "the Loaf" will remain in production for years, to MEAs long as it would be permitted by law on the certification of the cu Tr and poverty the provincial medical and educational institutions.
