The GAZon Next is spelled in several ways in Russian-language ads and searches. It is one and the same vehicle.
An insulated van 5.2 m on a GAZon NEXT — the workhorse of city and regional distribution. The body is 2,500 mm wide, so two euro pallets fit across, and at 5,200 mm long that means eight pallet places in a single layer. The wall is a 100 mm sandwich panel, the same as under a reefer: cargo loaded chilled holds its temperature for the whole route, and if a refrigeration unit is needed later the body is already prepared for it. What sets this project apart is the side door in the right side wall next to the cab: at a stop you can take out a couple of boxes without opening the rear portal and letting the whole load space warm up. At the back are hinged doors with cam-bar locks, red contour tape runs around the opening, and side underrun protection runs along both sides.

More about the design on the page insulated vans.
The vehicle is built on a GAZ, GAZon NEXT chassis.
Body type — insulated body, sandwich panel, external dimensions 5,200 × 2,500 × 2,500 mm. That leaves 4,992 × 2,292 × 2,292 mm, 100 mm panel inside: the panel thickness is subtracted on every side, floor and ceiling included. Usable volume is 26.2 m³, counted from the internal dimensions rather than by multiplying the external ones. In a single tier that is 10 europallets.
Doors: hinged rear, cam-bar locks.
Fitted equipment: contour tape around the opening, side underrun protection, rear underrun bar.
An isothermal body does not produce cold — it slows heat exchange with the outside. Such a van is chosen for short runs and for cargo loaded already chilled: bread, confectionery, drinks, groceries. Usable volume here is 26.2 m³ — the block above estimates the load in pallets.
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: FAW 1027 (T80), Foton 5163, GAZelle Next A21R32, HOWO T5G. They differ in payload, frame length and licence category.
A standard 1,200 × 800 mm europallet, single tier, no restacking. Internal dimensions with a 50 mm laying allowance — a pallet will not go in dead tight.
Inside 4 992 × 2 292 × 2 292 mm · 26,2 m³
The layout scheme is on the right: it shows how the rows sit and how much room is left.
People search for this truck in many ways: insulated van GAZon Next, insulated box on a GAZon, thermal van GAZon, insulated body on a GAZon, body for a GAZon Next, box body on a GAZon NextIt is all one and the same thing: a sandwich-panel body without a refrigeration unit, which slows the warming of cargo already chilled. Such bodies are built in Almaty for a specific chassis, rather than adapted from a ready-made box.
Fifty millimetres is enough when the cargo travels for an hour or so and the weather is mild. A hundred is headroom: the body holds its range longer in the heat and stays suitable for a reefer if you decide to fit a refrigeration unit later. The body itself does not have to be rebuilt — only the equipment changes.
With more than five or six stops a day a side door saves both time and cold. The rear portal is opened fully only for loading; for deliveries the side door is enough. It is fitted in the right side wall next to the cab, with a cam-bar lock and a seal around the full perimeter, so no heat gets in through it.
On the same chassis we build a dry freight vans, refrigerated bodies and the side platforms. The rest of the marque’s trucks are on the GAZ page.
