The GAZ-3310 Valdai (Russian: Валдай) is a medium-class flat bed truck (category N2 MCV) formerly produced from late 2004 until 2015 at the Gorky Automobile Plant in Russia. It differs from the "GAZelle" light commercial vehicle in that it does require a category C driver's license. The production of the truck ended in December 2015.[1]

Manufacturing history

GAZ-33104V

The truck is located above the GAZelle van and below the GAZ-3307 in terms of size. The cab is very similar to that of the van, especially in terms of shape, but has some deviations that can be used to distinguish the vehicles. The GAZ-3310 has a larger grille and other rear-view mirrors that are not painted in the color of the cabin. Furthermore, the vehicle has two steps for boarding, one more than the GAZelle. The shape of the doors was also slightly varied. Nevertheless, the chassis is based on the GAZ-3307 truck.

In the first generation of vehicles from 2003/04 onwards, Russian-made diesel engines, namely the MMZ-D245 E2 model, were used. From 2010, the trucks were equipped with imported engines from Cummins Engine. There are versions with a single or extended cab, the number of seats (including driver) is either three or six. In addition, two different chassis were offered, the standard variant with a wheelbase of 3310 millimeters, and an extended model with 4000 millimeters. The steering system was supplied by ZF Friedrichshafen. Since 2010, the engine has been designed for a maximum mileage of 500,000 kilometers.

Towards the end of the production period, sales figures declined. In 2014, 4029 units were sold, in 2015 only 1040. In December 2015, production was discontinued without a successor.
