BM7237 GAZ-66 FIRE FIGHTING VEHICLE

The GAZ-66 is a Soviet (Russian) light, civilian and military truck. The first copies of this car appeared in the early 1960s. Serial production continued in the years 1964-1999. Approximately 960,000 cars of this type were produced in its course. The drive is provided by a single 8-cylinder engine with 115 hp. The GAZ-66 was created as a successor to the GAZ-63 car, which turned out to be one of the most successful trucks made in the Soviet Union. First and foremost, it is an all-wheel drive car, which also has a mechanism for regulating tire pressure and has fantastic off-road characteristics that allow it to move freely both in Siberia and in the desert. In addition, the car is famous for its reliability and durability. It is also relatively simple to maintain and repair. On the basis of this very successful car, specialized versions were also created, such as the GAZ-66B (a truck adapted to air transport and parachute discharge) or the GAZ-66D (a truck with increased engine power). GAZ-66 has been exported to many countries, including Poland.
