The GAZ Sadko (Russian: Садко) is a Russian-built, 2.5-ton, all-wheel-drive cargo truck. The Sadko is produced by the Gorky Automobile Plant (GAZ) and was named after Sadko, a character in a Russian medieval epic bylina, who was an adventurer, merchant, and gusli musician from Novgorod. It also exists a 4×2-version, named GAZ-3307.
History
The current GAZ-3308 “Sadko” series of vehicles serves as a replacement for the GAZ-66, which entered production in 1964 and remained thus for approximately thirty-five years. Production of the GAZ-3308 began in 1996 as per military requirements. Commercial and export versions are also produced. The first of the new all-wheel-drive trucks was created by the Gorky Automobile Plant in 1996 under the symbol GAZ-33097. Series production models, which received the industry index GAZ-3308 and a new name, "Sadko", began in December 1997. The Russian Army's 2.3-ton truck GAZ-3308 replaced the GAZ-66-40-cab-over-engine model. On GAZ-3308, a cab from the GAZ-3309 modified using different fenders with enlarged wheel arches and drive axles, and transmission similar to that used on the GAZ-66-40.
Since 2003, most Sadkos have been equipped with a turbo diesel MMZ D-245.7 (from 2005 emission class Euro-2, from 2013 replaced by the type D-245.7E4 with environmental class Euro-4) engines. In 2005, a 4-ton model GAZ-33086 Countryman with a twin-tired rear axle, which uses elements of the Sadko, was produced.
In 2013, a version of the GAZ-33088 Sadko with a turbo-diesel YaMZ-53442 with Euro-4 became available. In June 2014 GAZ presented a new version, with the unofficial name of Sadko-Next, an increased carrying capacity of 3 tons, and also the new version of GAZ-3309.[1]
