In order to receive EU certificate GAZ group specialists have reworked and tested the vehicle for over a year. Certification tests were carried out in Russia and abroad. 

GAZ Group is now negotiating with potential distributors in several EU countries on creation of sales systems and service maintenance.

Vadim Sorokin, GAZ Group president, said: ‘The extension of export deliveries is the one of the spheres of GAZ strategic development which is especially important as the commercial vehicles market in Russia is reducing. The European certification grants us the right to sell GAZelle NEXT Euro-5 in 28 European Union countries, and we have the similar certificate for selling AWD Gazelle BUSINESS and Sobol BUSINESS vehicles. Moreover, the certificate itself is the official confirmation of the fact that GAZ LCVs comply with the requirements and standards set for this vehicle class in Europe.’
