Insulated van on a GAZon NEXT with a side door
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.

How this body is built
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 5,000 × 2,300 × 2,300 mm, 100 mm panel inside: the panel thickness is subtracted on every side, floor and ceiling included. Usable volume is 26.4 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.

Who it suits
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 26.4 m³ — the block below estimates the load in pallets.
We will build the same — to your size and your chassis
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.
How many pallets fit
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.
Insulated van on a GAZon Next: the questions we hear most
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.
Why a 100 mm panel and not 50
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.
The side door: when it pays for itself
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.
What else we build on a GAZon NEXT
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.
