Pavlovo Bus Factory (Russian:Павловский автобус, formerlyПа́вловский авто́бусный заво́д,Pavlovsky Avtobusny Zavod orPAZ) is a manufacturer ofbuses inRussia, in the city ofPavlovo,Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. PAZ is a subsidiary ofRussian Buses which is a division ofGAZ.
Pavlovo Bus Factory specializes in designing and manufacturing buses of the small/medium class (length 9.7 m). Buses are the most common plant in Russia, their annual output is over 10,000 units, almost 80% of small buses in Russia. The small PAZ buses have long been used by Russian "fixed-route taxi" (marshrutka) operators.
Starting in 2015, the GAZ Group introduced a single brand for all its bus manufacturing subsidiaries, and newly manufactured vehicles now feature the deer badge of theGAZ company.[2]
The factory has its origins in the ZATI automobile and tractor tool plant, established in Pavlovo in 1932.[3] The building of the factory started in 1952, and in the same year the first PAZ-651 long-hood buses (based on theGAZ-51 general-purpose lorry) were produced. The government had a plan to produce 10,000 buses per year. In 1960, the production of new PAZ-652 forward control model on the same chassis started. It was replaced by the outwardly similar PAZ-672 (based on theGAZ-53 lorry) in early 1968, and this bus had a large family of various modifications. 1989 saw a start of production of the newPAZ-3205 model having basically the same chassis but a completely new body.
