Demonstration of their products in Germany AZ GAS indicates its intention to actively explore export markets. This year on the stand of the company presented as LCV with GVW up to 3.5 tonnes, and trucks with GVW 4.6 to 22 tonnes and buses with passenger capacity from 17 to 100 people. Cars equipped with various types of engines of ecological classes Euro-5 and Euro-6, in addition, besides the usual left hand drive, the model in right-hand drive version for countries with left-hand traffic. For European market cars are Euro 6 LCV including a series of "GAZelle NEXT", the bus "Vector NEXT" series diesel YAMZ-530.

Only after a sufficiently large export order will begin production and a standard left hand drive version.

Presented in Hannover "GAZelle NEXT" with a body of tsmf equipped with a number of innovations, such as the turbodiesel Euro 6 and latest 6-speed transmission and airbag in the hub of the steering wheel and ESP. Promotion of light commercial vehicle on the European market may now only  with that "gentleman's set", except for efficiency and functionality. 

To achieve this effect was possible only with the use of a new power plant consisting of imported turbo diesel of the Volkswagen brand (the corresponding agreement was signed last year) and a new 6-speed manual gearbox, which just a private development of AZ GAZ. In it, the hatch is provided for connecting the power takeoff, which allows you to equip the chassis of different specific adjustments, including lifts and CMU.

These innovations have reduced by 10% fuel consumption, reduced noise and vibration, and increased traction and dynamic performance. Interestingly, the "GAZelle NEXT" with a turbodiesel Volkswagen will be offered on the domestic market, but only in the fifth environmental class (Euro-5).

To ekologicheskogo class Euro 6 engine has been modified in conjunction with Bosch with the installation of microprocessor control system of the type Common Rail with an injection pressure of the fuel at 2000 Bar. Ensuring environmental standards Euro-6 engines YAMZ-534 is performed by the exhaust gas recirculation EGR electric valve actuator and a supply system of urea SCR and an upgraded turbocharger system.

Gas engine of Euro-5

 in Conjunction with Westport
developed 6-cylinder gas engine YAMZ-536 CNG with a range of
power 260-312 HP with ΜM=1080-1220 N·m environmental standard Euro-5. This
