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.

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 Next. They all mean the same thing: a sandwich-panel body without a refrigeration unit that holds the temperature of cargo loaded already chilled. We build these bodies in Almaty for a specific chassis rather than adapting an off-the-shelf 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 drop-side platforms. The rest of the marque’s trucks are on the GAZ page.
