A delivery ice-cream van on a light category B chassis: eight separate compartments with side doors, four per side. The cold comes from eutectic plates — they are frozen overnight at the depot from a 380 V supply, and the body then holds its temperature all day without running a compressor.

More about the design on the page ice-cream vans.
GAZ is the Gorky Automobile Plant in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. The GAZelle Business is the updated version of the classic GAZelle, in production since 2010. These trucks do not only reach Kazakhstan as imports: since 2019 GAZ vehicles have been assembled in Semey at the SemAZ plant — around thirty versions, including the GAZelle Business, GAZelle Next and GAZon Next. Local assembly means a Kazakhstani certificate of conformity, chassis available inside the country and spare parts through the dealer network rather than on order.
The GAZelle Business has a gross weight of 3,500 kg — exactly at the ceiling of category B. A driver with an ordinary licence gets in and drives: there is no need to find someone with category C. On city delivery rounds, where drivers change often, this decides the choice of chassis more often than payload does.
UMZ A275 (Evotech 2.7), 106.8 hp, Euro 5 — petrol, not diesel. In winter it starts without a pre-heater, servicing is cheaper, and a repair can be done at almost any garage in the country. Fuel consumption is higher than a diesel, but on short city routes the mileage is small and over a year the difference comes out modest.
An ice-cream van is a body, not a whole vehicle. We fit the same compartment body with eutectic plates to JAC, Kia Bongo, Hyundai, Isuzu, Foton and FAW — sized for the volume and number of compartments you need. There is one condition: the chassis is chosen for a body that has already been calculated, not the other way round.

A walk-around of this vehicle from our YouTube channel.
The project is based on a GAZ-330202 — GAZelle Business with a 3,500 mm extended wheelbase chassis with a 3,500 mm wheelbase. The engine is UMZ A275 (Evotech 2.7) petrol, injection, Euro 5, 106.8 hp.
This is a eutectic (ice-cream van) — deep freezing; externally the body is 4,200 mm.
Doors: 4+4 side compartment doors.
Operating range: down to −33 °C (eutectic plates).
A side door changes distribution logistics: at each stop you open it rather than the whole rear portal — less cold escapes and the truck can park tight against its neighbour.
A eutectic body charges from the mains overnight and holds sub-zero all day with the engine off — the classic ice-cream truck and city distribution of deep-frozen goods.
This body is not a catalogue item but a project we actually built. We will make the same one to your dimensions: length, width and height are calculated for your cargo and the chassis payload, rather than fitting the cargo to a ready-made size.
We also fit it to your own chassis: bring the vehicle, we take the frame dimensions, build the body, mount it and hand it over with the conversion paperwork.
If you are still choosing a chassis, we have the same body on other bases as well: HINO 300, Hyundai HD78, JAC N56. They differ in payload, frame length and licence category.
Leave your contact details — we will confirm availability/lead time and quote a price.
