When renewing the fleet, the question often arises for carriers: “Maybe not abandoning the brand that has been used for more than a dozen years?”. There are trained, thoroughly knowledgeable design features of the truck drivers and repairmen, spare parts in stock, well-established repair technology. There are many motor transport enterprises in the country, initially oriented towards servicing stores, warehouses, wholesale bases, and various factories.

Their main rolling stock were vans, flatbed trucks and even truck tractors of the Gorky Automobile Plant. The GAZ-53 and the GAZ-3307 that replaced it differed from each other mainly in the cab, their chassis, and most importantly, gasoline engines remained almost unchanged.

The plant has repeatedly tried to install diesel engines on its trucks. In the late 80s, they purchased a license and equipment for the production of German Deutz air vents or, in other words, GAZ-5441, but for a combination of reasons, the project was closed. There was an attempt to produce lawns with the Japanese 136-horsepower diesel engine "Hino", but limited to only a small series. Only in the late 90s, the Gorky plant was seriously engaged in truck dieselization, adapted to them the Minsk MMZ D-245.7 engines with a capacity of 122 horsepower. A car with such an engine was given the designation GAZ-3309. In-line, four-cylinder Minsk diesel easily fit under the hood instead of a gasoline V-shaped eight. It is convenient to maintain and repair it - there is plenty of space, and even the rear head nuts can be freely selected. On the "Bull" or "Valdai" motor got worse.
