GAZelle City

GAZelle City is a framed, low-floor small-class city bus from the Gorky Automobile Plant, meant for passenger transport including people with limited mobility. It grew out of the GAZelle NEXT Citiline buses first shown at Komtrans in 2012. The new low-floor bus on the GAZelle NEXT base was first shown at Busworld in 2016, and a version with new styling and lights from the GAZelle NN went into series production. Technically it is close to its cargo relatives: it has a bonneted frame, a front engine with rear drive, electrically operated double doors of the outward-sliding type, a low entry area and a fold-out ramp, and air suspension that varies the floor height from 250 mm at a stop to 330 mm in motion. It was offered with a Cummins ISF2.8 diesel of 139.7 horsepower and a five-speed gearbox, and from November 2022 with the GAZ G21 engine, later the G51. The base layout seats 17 passengers. A tourist version appeared in September 2023, GAZ-A68R5E electric buses entered series production in 2024, and a freight version, the GAZelle Logistic, was presented in 2026.
