Information about the PAZ 4230-01 Aurora bus

The Aurora bus was developed and first produced at the Pavlovsk Bus Plant. The car has already shown itself in Russian car exhibitions and has many awards, including the title "Best Domestic Bus of 2001" and a special prize from the magazine "Behind the Wheel".

At the beginning of 2002, the management of the company "RusAvtobusProm", which, along with such plants as PAZ, LiAZ, GolAZ, includes Kurgan bus factory, it was decided to transfer the production of Aurora to JSC KAVZ. This will make it possible to load the free capacity of the enterprise, increase staff employment, and, in addition, absolutely new model the bus gives hope to the Kurgan enterprise for further successful development.

So, let's get acquainted with the new product.

The car meets the canons of modern bus fashion. This is evidenced by the streamlined shape of the front part, the slanted look of narrow headlights, and the large glass area. "Aurora" is truly beautiful, and it will be all the more pleasant to see it on the roads soon. What can please the model upon closer examination?

The degree of protection against corrosion will be the envy of any, at least a domestic competitor: Galvanized steel sheets, fiberglass front and rear body panels, aluminum hatch covers. Wheel arches also made of galvanized steel. The bus has a spacious and comfortable interior, entry and exit from which is through two single-leaf doors at the front and rear. Level interior decoration can vary widely depending on customer requirements, up to the installation of individual ventilation and lighting systems. Availability luggage racks, head unit And effective system heating allows us to hope that the hardships long journey at any time of the year will be carried by passengers without any problems.

The driver's workplace is separated from passenger compartment partition. The adjustable driver's seat, as well as streamlined exterior mirrors with electrically controlled and heating.

Even more interesting mechanical part cars. Diesel engine with turbocharging is what is needed for a bus of this class, so installing the MMZ-245.9 from Bychka looks quite logical. The traction capabilities of a diesel engine are realized by five-speed gearbox transmission Power unit installed longitudinally at the rear, which allows you to save some space in the cabin. In addition to the engine, the Aurora “got” Zilov bridges and steering MAZ with power steering. Such widespread use new car units famous manufacturers will clearly increase its reliability and maintainability. Brake system double-circuit with pneumatic drive, drum-type brakes and, most importantly, the car is equipped with ABS - in this the Aurora will give odds to, perhaps, everything to the domestic auto industry. The bus is equipped with spring suspensions on both axles, with special correction springs additionally installed on the rear axle to increase the smoothness of the ride. This is what she is, “Aurora”.

Is it really so bad that Aurora was created on familiar, operationally proven components?

In general, yes, it’s bad, if only these units were of high quality, otherwise... The clutch is well described in the Auto Review. Or could they install an automatic transmission?

True, Autoreview describes how the Aurora is operated on an urban-suburban semi-express route in a metropolis, and in bobby mode. But 4230 and its extended version are a bus for local transport, or for urban transport in small towns, which I was lucky enough to observe this summer, as well as for official transport and using it otherwise is at least strange...

But I don’t understand why a bus that is not intended for urban transportation needs an automatic machine.

Disgusting, creepy and terrible. The whole problem is that these proven units were developed for completely different cars, and if you put a bridge from a PAZik on a long Aurora, then the difference in mass will make itself felt increased wear RZM, and the MMD engine was made for small tractor by no means weighing under 8 tons with a full load, and this engine will tell you “bye” and its repair will increase the cost of maintaining the fleet, increase ticket prices, reduce the activity of the population, and create a demand for foreign ones. HARMONIOUSLY designed technology. In short, the lack of management of the entire chain of “designing units for a specific class of vehicles - designing a specific class of vehicles - production - operation” leads to the fact that the manufacturers themselves ruin the carrier by pushing him under any pretext (censored) and ruin their own potential demand, because the market is not rubber, simply increased funds (and maybe part of the depreciation) for repairs will not allow us to update the car faster, or even use it more intensively.

If PAZ sold cars with the slogan “We guarantee a readiness rate of 95% over a period of 7 years”, it would be selling a product called “Fixed assets for the transportation business,” but now they are selling crookedly made collectible cars not for business, but for politics, PR and other crap so far from our frosty reality, and the path they follow does not inspire confidence and does not form clear prospects for the future. In short, they are pests of the domestic mechanical engineering industry.

It seems to me that you got a little excited. With what to bet on more long bus I agree that the engine is insufficiently powerful and the chassis components are not designed for the weight of the car. Moreover, in my first message in this topic I just said that there are large gaps between gear ratios at the Aurora checkpoint - a clear drawback of the bus, i.e. lack of thought for using it for its intended purpose, i.e. for local transport.

In general, the tractor diesel on the short version of the Aurora copes with its task quite well. Another thing long version. About two years ago I talked with representatives of PAZ and asked a question about the engine, because a tractor engine is not a bus engine. The answer was this: We generally want to install the Yaroslavl four-cylinder diesel engine, but it doesn’t exist yet, and the larger one is in engine compartment Aurora does not fit.

Today YaMZ announces its readiness to produce in-line diesels five hundredth family. Maybe they will appear on Aurora. Unless interdepartmental, I beg your pardon, inter-holding confusion gets in the way. For a long time I couldn’t understand why Russian buses don’t like Yaroslavl engines so much, but now it dawned on me: the owners of LiAZ, PAZ, KAVZ, GOLAZ and YaMZ are different.

Moreover, how suitable the CAMINS will be for a long groove - big question. At least the engines that are on low-floor grooves (if I’m not mistaken by DEITZ) are clearly not good for the money - they are very tense on the body...

As for the reliability of the units, everything is decided very simply: there is such a price-quality ratio and, as far as I know, Russian buses monitor this very carefully.

Unfortunately, today most of our carriers are not ready to pay more for cars than they pay.

A medium bus developed in the late 1990s at the Pavlovsk Bus Plant.

Since 2001, PAZ has established mass production bus. After the Kurgan Bus Plant joined the Russian Buses - GAZ Group company in 2001, starting in 2002, production of the PAZ-4230 Aurora bus was transferred to the Kurgan Bus Plant. Since 2003, KAvZ began serial production of several modifications of this bus. In 2008, a new model was introduced - KAvZ-4235.

Story

In the late 1990s, the Pavlovsk Bus Plant faced the need to restructure production in order to produce a wide range of buses different classes. Before this, PAZ specialized only in the production of small class buses. The flagship model at that time was the PAZ-3205 bus. In this regard, PAZ developed the large PAZ-5271, PAZ-5272 and medium-class PAZ-4230 Aurora models. The new Pavlovsk bus attracted close attention and received many awards at exhibitions. At the Russian International "Auto Show-99" in Moscow, Pavlovsky Bus OJSC was awarded a special prize from the magazine "Behind the Wheel" for the models of city buses PAZ-5271, PAZ-5272 and for the promising PAZ-4230 "Aurora" bus. In 2000, Pavlovsky Bus OJSC at the All-Russian Scientific and Industrial Forum “United Russia” - 2000 was awarded diplomas of the 1st and 2nd degrees “For the development and production basic models promising model range intercity buses PAZ-5272 and PAZ-4230.” In addition, in 2001, at the ComTrans’2001 exhibition, the PAZ-4230 received the title “Best Domestic Bus of 2001.”

Since 2000, PAZ began to establish production for the production of a new model of the PAZ-4230 Aurora bus. At the same time, PAZ was merged with the management company RusPromAvto. In 2001, the Pavlovsk Automobile Plant began serial production and produced 85 buses of this model, in 2002 - 194.

In 2001, the Kurgan Bus Plant became part of the Russian Buses - GAZ Group company. To prevent intra-corporate competition, it was decided that KAvZ would specialize in the production of middle-class buses for urban and suburban use. As a result, production of the PAZ-4230 Aurora bus was transferred in 2002 to the Kurgan Bus Plant.

After carrying out all the necessary measures to prepare production and train personnel, in 2003 KAvZ began serial production of the PAZ-4230 Aurora bus. At first, two modifications of buses PAZ-4230-01 and PAZ-4230-02 were produced, respectively, suburban and intercity versions. The production of the urban modification PAZ-4230-03 was mastered by KAvZ at the end of 2005. In 2006, a new extended model PAZ-4238 “Aurora” appeared, which was intended for operation on urban, suburban and intercity routes over a distance of up to 500 km.

In 2008, KavZ specialists developed the KavZ-4235 model, due to the introduction of environmental regulations and stricter emission standards harmful substances into the atmosphere, which replaced the PAZ-4230 model on the assembly line. In 2010, a school modification based on the KAvZ-4238 Aurora was created and certified. In 2010, the plant restyled the exterior of the base model, as well as modernized power structure body, bus interior, heating system and braking system.

Modifications:

PAZ-4230-01 "Aurora"- suburban

PAZ-4230-02 "Aurora"- intercity

PAZ-4230-03 "Aurora"- urban
