BAZ-2215 Delfin (Dolphin) is a Ukrainian small class minibus manufactured by Etalon, it is designed to transport passengers on city commercial routes. BAZ-2215 buses were assembled at two plants at once — BAZ in Prolisky and ChAZ in Chernihiv. BAZ-2215 is based on the widespread GAZ-3302 GAZelle truck from Russia, and the body design is the development of Ukraine's UkrAutobusProm.
Description
[edit]BAZ-2215 buses are much higher than the GAZelle and allow passengers to stand in the cabin at full height, due to this, handrails are present inside. The salon is equipped with fourteen chairs and is fenced off from the driver's cabin with a partition. Passenger doors located in front of the body are automatic, there are also emergency manual doors in the back of the cabin, wide windows provide a good view. Ventilation of the cabin is carried out with the help of one hatch in the roof and a vent on the side windows.[2]
History
[edit]The first BAZ-2215 units were assembled in 2003 at the Boryspil Bus Factory in Prolisky, but its production facilities were not enough to produce a new model alongside BAZ-A079 bus that entered the production a year earlier. Therefore, in August 2003, the former ChernihivAvtoDetal plant has been bought by Etalon to create the Chernihiv Bus Factory, where in September of the same year the production of BAZ-2215 minibuses began. For some time, A079 and 2215 were assembled at two factories at the same time but later BAZ had stopped their assembly of the latter and only Chernihiv kept producing the Delfin.[3]
In 2003–2004, in addition to the standard modification, the Boryspil Bus Factory also produced buses on the chassis of the pre-facelift GAZelle. They received the BAZ-22151 index.
Since 2006 BAZ-22154 began to be produced replacing the standard 2215 modification. It has a ZMZ-405.22 engine, which meets the adopted standards of environmental safety in Ukraine, Euro-2. In addition, the updated Delfins are equipped with the ABS system of the German company Wabco.
In 2006-2007 Etalon designed Delfin Maxi, a three-axel bus based on GAZ-2215. The model got the 3215 index and two units were assembled with Maxi never ending up in a serial production.
In 2010, the BAZ-22155 was presented, equipped with engine UMZ-4216 (Euro-3). The model has been in production for a short time before the assembly of 2215 has been stopped in 2010. In total, more than 2,000 buses of the BAZ-2215 family were produced.
