Passenger buses PAZ get a “Soviet design”

Photos of the new version of the PAZ-3205 bus appeared on the web: in the photos you can see that instead of four fluff-lined “round” Hella brand cars, the well-deserved car will acquire an ordinary “Soviet style” round headlights.

Most likely, such a restyling turned out to be forced, since Hella stopped supplying automotive optics to Russian partners. Therefore, the GAZ Group immediately corrected the design of the plastic mask by describing household lighting equipment instead of German.

There is also information that the “anti-sanction” version of the passenger car will receive a simplified version of the 4.4-liter Yaroslavl YaMZ-534 turbo diesel, which will meet Euro-3 environmental standards instead of Euro-5 .

It is worth adding that the 3205 is a true veteran of the passenger transport market. The mass production of this model began on December 1, 1989, when production of the predecessor PAZ-672M was completely stopped on the assembly line.

However, the KAMAZ series K3 is even older! However, the truck giant not only has no plans to stop production, but even developed a project to style this veteran for modern cars of the K5 generation.
