GAZ-AAA is a Soviet light truck of the interwar period and World War II. The car had a total length of 5.34 meters, a width of 2.04 meters and a wheelbase of 3.2 meters (between the 1st and 3rd axles). It reached a maximum speed of 65 km/h. The car could transport cargo weighing 2,000 kilograms. Initially, the drive was a 4-cylinder engine with a volume of 3.3 liters and a maximum power of 42 hp, synchronized with a 4-speed manual gearbox. The drive was transferred to two rear axles. The GAZ-AAA was developed as a development of the GAZ-AA car, a licensed copy of the American Ford AA truck. The main change concerned the use of one more axle, which made GAZ-AAA a three-axle truck. Serial production of the car began in 1934 and lasted until 1943. According to estimates, about 38,000 trucks of this type were produced during the project. In the period 1941-1945, in connection with military operations, a radically simplified and impoverished version was produced, for example, with a tarpaulin roof or wooden doors of the driver's cabin.
