The GAZ-MM is a Soviet light truck produced at the Gorki Auto Plant from 1938 to 1947, and then at the Ulyanovsky Auto Plant up to 1956. The truck was a modernized and improved variant of the GAZ-AA that used the more powerful engine from the GAZ-M1, upgrading the vehicle's power to 50 hp. Other improvements included a reinforced suspension, alongside a new steering and cardan shaft. The styling also slightly changed, incorporating simple angular fenders, rather than the GAZ-AA's more rounded ones.
Due to some engine shortages at the factory, some believe that the actual mass-production of the GAZ-MM trucks only started in 1940, since the GAZ-M1 engine needed to get firstly used in the GAZ-AAA and BA-10 vehicles.
