GAZ Group decided to replace the Valdai Next model with a new modification – Valdai 8. The “Eight” is distinguished by a modified cabin, a new power unit, and also has an increased payload. There are also new possibilities.
The fact that now not “Nexts”, but “Eights” are leaving the assembly line in Nizhny Novgorod, the portal Quto.ru reports. Their difference, first of all, in the power unit. GAZ abandoned the 2.8 liter Cummins diesel engine and relied on the G21B engine of its own design. It is based on the technical solutions of the Chinese company Foton. The novelty significantly surpasses its predecessor in terms of maximum torque. Thus, the 2.5-liter 16-valve G21B produces 415 instead of 350 Nm, which allowed Valdai’s payload to be increased by 840 kg (to 4628 kg) in one go.
Recall that the chassis of the 9-ton “Lawn Next” is the heart of the car, so the increased load will not affect the resources and reliability of the truck. The braking system also did not need to be adjusted. Her abilities are sufficient.
We also note that the engineers have complied with the carriers’ requests. In particular, they requested that a “sleeping bag” be installed in the cockpit. Now it is available as an option.
