The GAZ-AAA was 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 carry a load weighing 2,000 kilograms. Initially, the drive was a 4-cylinder 3.3-liter engine with a maximum power of 42 hp, synchronized with a 4-speed manual gearbox. The drive was transmitted 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 another axle, which made the GAZ-AAA a three-axle truck. Serial production of the car began in 1934 and continued until 1943. It is estimated that around 38,000 trucks of this type were built during the project. Between 1941 and 1945, due to the war, a radically simplified and impoverished version was produced, for example with a canvas roof or wooden cab doors.
