Zavolzhsky Motor Plant (ZMZ) can again start production of the “older” naturally aspirated gasoline engine of the 520th series. At the moment, experts are assessing the question. If it is sufficient, the unit will go back on the assembly line next year.

Factory workers may begin assembling both the gasoline and dual-fuel versions of the 500, which was discontinued in 2021, according to insiders. Recall that these engines were equipped with distributed fuel injection. There were other improvements, but in general this is the same ZMZ-53 engine, which has been mass-produced since 1963. For 58 years, more than 6.5 million units of such units have been produced off the assembly line.

The main advantage of Zavolzhsky’s “heart” is the price of 250,000 rubles. Therefore, it was often bought by the owners of the PAZ-3205, because the “diesel” in the bus cost twice as much.
