GAZ-34039

The GAZ-34039 is a Russian tracked amphibious snow and swamp vehicle, the further development of the GT-SM (GAZ-71) and the base platform of the Zavolzhye Tracked Tractor Plant. It uses a four cylinder turbocharged D-245.12S diesel of 110 hp with a pre-start heater, a five speed gearbox and a main drive built together with the transfer case. The running gear has 12 road wheels, two idlers, two front drive wheels and two tracks, with independent torsion bar suspension, and the tracks come with open joints rated for 6,000 km or rubber-metal joints rated for 12,000 km. The vehicle crosses water afloat by turning its tracks. Passenger, cargo-passenger, metal-bodied and ambulance versions exist, with special equipment variants such as drilling rigs and fire fighters. A 2021 report names it the plant main product, at about 20 vehicles a month.
