Fuel Consumption Standards for Gas-Powered Vehicles • Gazelle next

One of the famous Russian cars released over the past few years is the Gazelle Next. The car very quickly began to gain popularity among its target audience - entrepreneurs involved in the transportation of industrial products. Fuel consumption on Gazelle Next, diesel has again become one of the most popular.

On the way to such success, gazelle Next went through several stages of testing. At first, the company released only a few prototypes, which were used by regular large customers for preliminary testing for a year. After successfully passing the test, all those who used the car left positive reviews. It was decided to release a new, improved prototype, taking into account the wishes of customers, and sell it on the open market. The new, improved model immediately won him over.

Technical characteristics of Gazelle Next

• Gazelle Business can be called the progenitor of the new Gazelle Next;
• The diesel consumption of Gazelle Next per 100 km is not much different from Gazelle Business;
• The engine that is in the new model also belongs to the Cummins family, which means that the engines are of high quality, designed for long journeys and transportation, at minimal cost.

Reviews on the Internet confirm this, which makes the car even more attractive to any businessman.

Modifications

A universal model, an off-road “Sadko” with a rotational module and an urban model are provided. There is a standard and extended car platform. Models – C41R11 and C41R31. There is also GAZon Next C42. The car is not only an onboard vehicle; various modifications are made on its platform, such as:

• Tanks;
• Vans;
• Tow trucks and manipulators;
• Aerial platforms;
• Dump trucks;
• Pickups;
• Special equipment.

GAZon Next aerial platform
Since 2016, the Gorky Automobile Plant plans to begin production of a serially produced truck tractor, on the platform of which road trains will be created. It will be able to transport about 10 tons, and the total weight will reach 16,800 kilograms.

However, it is unlikely that the engine used will be able to cope with such loads, so, most likely, Nizhny Novgorod residents will be faced with a new task - to develop a new power unit for the machine. There is a GAZon Next dump truck and a GAZon Next pickup truck.

Functional features

Cummins, which is under the hood of the diesel version of the Gazelle Next, not only provides optimal real fuel consumption for the Gazelle Next, but also makes the car a universal vehicle. The engine capacity of the Gazelle Next is 2.8 liters

. This volume cannot be called large, but this makes it quite productive with minimal fuel consumption. As you know, the size of the engine determines its power and the amount of fuel consumption.

The creators made sure that the car’s engine was recognized abroad by many companies that collaborate with European companies, which makes the Gazelle Next even more popular. The engine standard is called Euro-4.

Let's sum it up

As some say, at the automobile plant in Gorky there is such a “tradition” - initially to create a brand new car, and then, slowly, begin to bring it to fruition. It's a little funny, but unfortunately true. Therefore, it feels that today the GAZon Next is still a crude vehicle.

3 years will pass, then you can confidently purchase this model. Although, it is necessary to pay tribute to the design department of the plant. After all, old cars, along with their archaic design and technical equipment, have simply become obsolete. It’s just that, logically, a new model suggested itself, otherwise GAZ could simply lose its products.

Cargo-passenger LAWN Next
But foreign companies are not sitting idle either, so our specialists decided to release a new cargo model, which is in no way inferior to foreign cars in both appearance and technical components.

Although, to be honest, the better the “domestic” car, the fewer Russian parts it contains, and you can’t argue with that. Overall, the car turned out to be pleasant, fresh and mysterious.

Why mysterious{q} Since they haven’t been able to fully test it yet. But the power unit began to consume significantly less fuel, and the power was not reduced. The gearbox began to work much better (of course, it has German roots), the braking system even acquired disc brakes on all wheels, as well as electronic auxiliary systems such as ABS.

Inside, it also became much more pleasant and easier for the driver to work. There is plenty of free space in the cabin. One thing is clear, the Gorky Automobile Plant is clearly on the right direction of development of the automotive industry. It’s also nice that the company updates and produces not only new passenger cars, but also those that are trucks. I would like to hope that she will not stop there.

Fuel consumption indicators

• the minimum recorded result according to the criterion: “diesel consumption of Gazelle Next” is 8.6 liters;
• average fuel consumption - 9.4 liters;
• the maximum quantity recorded by a car of this brand is 16.8 liters;
• Let us remind you that diesel fuel, which Gazelle Next cars use, is more economical and safer for the environment;
• The power of the car's diesel engine is 120 horsepower, which is high quality, versatile and prestigious for a truck.

Gazelle Next is also available with a gasoline engine. The fuel consumption of the Gazelle Next gasoline engine is somewhat different from its diesel counterpart; here the norm is higher.

Minibus

The well-known initiative of the authorities dates back to 2005 to make all minibus taxis yellow and issue them license plates not white, but yellow. Previously, until 2002, yellow license plates were issued to foreigners and stateless persons.

Gasoline engine

The gasoline engine has a volume of 2.7 liters, that is, not much different from the diesel version, and its power is 107 horsepower. For a truck, this number is one of the most optimal. Gasoline consumption on the highway - 9.8 liters; in the worst road conditions - 12.1 liters.

The manufacturer of gasoline engines for these cars is EvoTEch. Compared to its predecessor, the Gazelle Business, the new model has much less electronics in its technical support, which makes its maintenance more practical. The difference between the fuel consumption recorded in the documents is influenced by the same factors as any other engine, so universal methods can be used to reduce the fuel consumption of the machine.

Car history

When 2014 arrived, the Gorky Automobile Plant Group, following a series of intriguing announcements, was able to present a car that was original for the Russian Federation - GAZon Next.

The new product was positioned as a replacement for several well-known generations. Initially, the company decided to say goodbye to the GAZ-3307 car, the production of which began in Soviet times (1987).

GAZ-3307

After approximately 30 years of production, the truck has become significantly outdated, despite a whole list of improvements. Taking all this into account, marketing specialists did not rack their brains and decided to name the new vehicle “Lawn”.

By the way, this is precisely the way people used to call the company’s past issues. The model even became the successor to the latest generation GAZ-33088. Over 25 years, the company was able to sell more than 2,000,000 GAZ-3307 and 33088 models.

GAZ-33088

Moreover, almost a million of them continue to be successfully operated today. But taking into account medium and small businesses, due to the need to update machines, I began to buy foreign analogues more often.

Consumers did not want to purchase outdated equipment, even if its pricing was not so high. In part, this was the reason for designing a completely new model.

During the premiere display of the truck, the President of the Russian Federation was present, which indicated the considerable importance of such an event. Manufacturers promised potential buyers the durability of the model and excellent performance.

Despite the good localization of production, the car is a fusion of domestic and foreign elements. Therefore, the new GAZon Next acquired the cabin of the latest generation of GAZelle, the clutch was installed by ZF (Germany), and the brake system was installed by Valdai. A similar principle provided the opportunity to make a high-quality car.

How to reduce fuel consumption on a diesel engine

Over time, any vehicle's fuel consumption increases as many parts wear out. Fuel is becoming more expensive every day, and not everyone can afford to maintain a “voracious iron horse.” The rise in diesel prices especially hits businesses related to cargo transportation. In such a situation, you can use some tricks that experienced car enthusiasts use.

Step-by-step installation description: • Isf28 s3129t

Basic Techniques

• replacing the air filter. This element of the car’s structure significantly affects the level of gasoline consumption on the highway;
• therefore, when the air filter deteriorates, the average fuel consumption of the Gazelle Next increases;
• just install a new air filter according to the instructions, and Next's fuel consumption will decrease by 10-15%.

The use of high viscosity oil, which optimizes engine performance and protects it from unwanted loads, is not in short supply in the automotive market, so you can freely reduce diesel consumption in Gazelle Next by about 10%. Over-inflated tires.

This simple technique allows you to further save on fuel consumption.

The main thing is not to overdo it - the tires should be overinflated by 0.3 atm, and in no case more. In addition, if there is a danger of damaging the suspension on your car, you need to control this element of the car’s structure when you drive on overinflated tires.

Interior

Inside, the Next modification has become much more spacious - about 1/3 more than the Lawn 3307. When you are inside, you understand that it has become more comfortable, because of this you even doubt a little whether this is a domestic car{q}

The interior space is largely similar to elements of the Gazelle Next. It is convenient to keep an eye on the road; the driver is helped by a fairly high seating position and a massive windshield. There are also innovations that are non-standard for cars of the Gorky Automobile Plant, such as:

• Electric windows;
• Air conditioning;
• Cruise control;
• Heated seats.

And all this comes as standard. Volga passenger sedans cannot even dream of this, but the Russian truck has it all! In front of the driver is a 4-spoke multi-steering wheel, which looks quite modern, almost the same as on other foreign cars.

GAZ-Next has a standard audio system with a CD player that supports the MP3 format, and also provides for mounting a pair of music speakers. The gas (accelerator) pedal is electronically controlled, but time will tell whether this can be considered an advantage given the quality of domestic spare parts.

Inside it can comfortably accommodate 3 adults, although a double cabin can be ordered with a driver and 6 passengers. Everything is quite simple, but at the same time convenient. The designers of the Gorky Automobile Plant did a good job on a comfortable fit, good ventilation and noise insulation.

The Lawn Next cabin can accommodate 3 adults

They also stiffened the driver's compartment with Anvis mounts. The driver's seat has a large number of settings and a mechanical suspension, which minimizes driver fatigue even during a long trip.

The basic configuration also has armrests. The instrument panel looks intuitive and quite clear, there is a pleasant backlight. The center console has a free niche for installing third-party multimedia devices.

Adjusting your driving style

The fuel consumption rate on the Gazelle Next (diesel) can go up if the driver prefers a harsh driving style - sudden starts and braking, sliding, skidding, driving onto the lawn, etc. Change your driving style, and then you can save additional money. Compliance with traffic rules has not harmed anyone so far.

You should not drive around at low speeds - such maneuvers sharply increase the average fuel consumption of the Gazelle Next. Speed ​​is one of the factors affecting diesel consumption. An effective but risky step to save on fuel is to turn off the turbine of a diesel engine. And a few more rules:

• switching to gas will allow you to reduce the cost of Gazelle Next fuel consumption by 100 km;
• The gas consumption rate is not very different from liters of gasoline or diesel, but the savings are significant, because gasoline and diesel are much more expensive, it is especially profitable to drive on methane, even though we have few such gas stations in our country;
• savings with the help of gas equipment do not begin to be felt immediately, but gradually, during the period of debt for installing a gas engine, which more than pays off in a few months.

Receptions with decor

An effective way to decorate a car and reduce fuel consumption is to install a spoiler on a Gazelle.

, which will give the car a more streamlined shape, which helps reduce the load on the engine that occurs due to air resistance. This method is especially effective for those who transport goods because the spoiler is most effective on the highway. Elementary monitoring of the condition of your Gazelle Next car allows you to save on expensive fuel and optimize your speed.

Price

A flatbed truck with a single-row cab will cost from RUB 1,580,000. As a separate option, you can install a radio, cruise control, heated seats and electric windows.

The model also has an “urban” version, “GAZon Next City”, which has wheels of reduced diameter, and also has a reduced loading height, along with a reduced turning radius. A similar model of GAZon Next City will cost 10,000 rubles. expensive.

Modification with 2-row cab
