Groove Vector Next Fuel Consumption Rate • Safety Option

SPECIFICATIONS

Both Pavlovsk and Nizhny Novgorod designers took part in the development of the model, and the task facing them was not so simple: to create a “budget”, but at the same time modern bus. The result was a symbiosis of a semi-supporting body mounted on a modified GAZon NEXT C40R13 chassis. The bare self-propelled chassis is assembled on a conveyor belt in Nizhny Novgorod, after which it is delivered to Pavlovo. There the body is welded and after the “wedding” of the first and second, a full-fledged bus is obtained.

The PAZ Vector Next bus features an original front mask with an increased glass area, which is clearly visible in the photo. Body type - semi-supporting, wagon layout. Block headlights with LED lights, rear-view mirrors are located asymmetrically. The back mask has a convex shape. The vertical lights have built-in fog lights. The PAZ “Vector Next” interior doors are leaning and turning, single-leaf, providing convenient entry and exit for passengers one at a time. The height of the lower step is 330 mm. There are handrails attached to the ceiling. The seats are ordinary, vandal-proof. Depending on the modification of the Vector Next PAZ, there can be 17, 21, 25 seats, total capacity - 43/50/53.

Combined heating of the passenger area is provided by convectors along the sides and 4 heaters located under the seats. It is possible to have a roof-mounted air conditioner, video surveillance system and other options from the factory.

Detailed description, device

The presence of a special equipped place to accommodate passengers with limited mobility, an enlarged rear door and a ramp are signs of the PAZ-320435-04 Vector Next modification, which is often labeled Accessible Environment and is used mainly on urban routes. on the right there is also a sliding glass, which allows you to create a draft if necessary, which is very important when pushing in a traffic jam or during a standstill at the end of the journey.

No man is an island?. Security option

The axle shafts were obviously firmly stuck to the hubs; no one had touched them since the start of operation; even the release bolts did not help; they had to be heated. Nevertheless, the Vector Next platform is based on a modular design, which makes it possible to produce passenger vehicles of various sizes - a whole family of unified buses from 7 to 9 meters in length.

Tales for VIP

The assembly of GAZ Vector NEXT is currently being carried out in parallel with the assembly of PAZ-3204 and PAZ-3205. Body welding is carried out on a separate branch. Next, the bodies in the general flow are sent for priming and painting on a first-come, first-served basis. Then they return again to the personal line of the assembly shop, where the final assembly of the bus is carried out.

In fact, the current GAZ Vector NEXT is much more reliable than the very first copies, although I have never heard a bad word about them either. What comes out is the ideal bus for the unpretentious consumer. Let's figure it out!

Main characteristics. Security option

• semi-low-floor city bus with no steps at the entrance to the 2nd service door, with a removable ramp for boarding/disembarking wheelchair users with door formula 1–2;
• city ​​high-floor bus with an elevator for boarding/disembarking wheelchair users with a door formula of 1–2;
• intercity high-floor bus with a separate luggage compartment in the rear with a door formula of 1–0;
• high-floor bus for transporting children with a 1–1 door formula.

“Deer” on the mask • And we are not talking about budget variations of the immortal PAZ-3205 family.

Comfort option

To summarize what has been said, I cannot help but note an important nuance.
Even before the arrival of NEXT, PAZ’s line included a bus that was not inferior in terms of driver and passenger comfort to the new product. Only this modification was called simply Vector. What fate awaits this model now – that is the question. Manufacturer/manufacturer where the equipment is produced/manufactured. Pavlovsky Bus is a Soviet and Russian manufacturer of small and medium class buses. Located in the city of Pavlovo, Nizhny Novgorod region. Part of the GAZ group. Since 2005, bus production has been carried out by PAZ LLC, a 100% subsidiary of Pavlovsky Bus PJSC.

Purpose. Urban, suburban, intercity.

Class. Small, medium.

Body type. Semi-supporting, railcar layout (Vector Next 7.6, operating on diesel fuel) and load-bearing, railcar layout (Vector Next 7.1 CNG/LPG)

Body resource. 10 years.

Design

Nevertheless, the Vector Next platform is based on a modular design, which makes it possible to produce passenger vehicles of various sizes - a whole family of unified buses from 7 to 9 meters in length. Manufacturer PAZ Purpose Urban Suburban School Seats 17-25 Passenger capacity 39-53 Number of doors 2 Fuel type Gasoline Diesel Length 7645 mm Wheel arrangement 4x2 Engine YaMZ ZMZ.

Advantages

This van is taller and longer than the previous model 2705, because, unlike it, it was supposed to have several modifications - long and short, and first the long version A31R32 A32R32 was mastered. For example, Bosch GTZ, Anvis engine mounts, Tirsan Kardan driveline, T-Rad radiator, ZF Sachs shock absorbers and clutch and clutch drive, ZF power steering, SKF bearings and Hoerbiger synchronizers in the gearbox, Rubena rear axle cuffs.

Reliability, problems and repair of YaMZ-534 • Chassis characteristics

In summer, ceiling hatches and vents were responsible for the microclimate in the cabin of the test bus, and in winter, a developed heating system was installed not only under the left side seats, as is usually done, but also under the right ones, so it definitely won’t be cold in winter. Doors with a roll-in type drive open an acceptable-width passage into the salon, and thanks to the handrails, climbing two steps is not so difficult.
