Bryansk company "BN-Motors" is setting up production of light commercial trucks under the BNM brand - they are designed for load capacity 1-1.5 tons and, thus, act as an alternative to "GAZelle". Naturally, the development is not independent, the first BNM is a renamed BAW T7. Later, the range is promised to be expanded - to launch pickups, minivans, off-road vehicles and, possibly, electric cars.

The trucks under discussion will have both single and double row cabins. They will get a 2.0-liter engine with a power of 112 hp, running on methane, and a 5-speed gearbox. Later, by the end of the year, a heavier version will appear - with a carrying capacity of up to 3 tons. By 2024-2025, "BN-Motors" expects to assemble 12-24 thousand cars a year.
