TheGAZ-3308 "Sadko" (Russian:Садко) is a Russian-built, 2.5-ton, 4-wheel-drive cargo truck. The Sadko is produced by theGorky Automobile Plant (GAZ). It is named afterSadko, a protagonist in manybylinas of the Novgorod cycle.
Sadko has been replaced in production by theSadko Next (Ru:САДКО NEXT).[1]
The current GAZ-3308 series of vehicles served as a replacement for theGAZ-66, which was produced for approximately 35 years (from 1964 until 1999). The first prototype was developed by the Gorky Automobile Plant in 1995 under the designation GAZ-33097. Series production began in December, 1997, receiving the designation GAZ-3308 and the name "Sadko." In the Russian Army it replaced the GAZ-66-40 cab-over-engine truck. For this purpose certain modifications were implemented including the cab from the GAZ-3309 with fenders featuring enlarged wheel arches as well as drive axles and transmission analogous to those used on the GAZ-66-40.
Since 2003, most GAZ-3308 trucks have been equipped with a MMZ D-245.7 turbodiesel engine, which starting in 2005, met the requirements of the Euro-2 emission standard. In 2013, this engine was replaced by the type D-245.7E4 meeting the Euro-4 emission standard.
In 2005 the GAZ-33086 "Zemlyak" variant was introduced; mainly differing in that it had a 4-wheel rear axle allowing for an increased 4-ton carrying capacity.
In 2013 another variant, the GAZ-33088, was introduced with a YaMZ-53442 turbodiesel engine meeting the Euro-4 emission standard.
In June, 2014 GAZ presented a new version with the unofficial name ofSadko NEXT which had an increased carrying capacity of 3 tons, as well as a new version of GAZ-3309.[2]
