Some History
GAZ-46 is a Soviet floating car that has been produced at the Gorky Automobile Plant since 1953. In the Soviet Army, this car received the designation "MAV" - a small waterfowl car. The main purpose of this car was to ensure the actions of intelligence units, as well as to carry out engineering work on reservoirs.

The experience of the end of World War II demonstrated the strengths and weaknesses of various Soviet military equipment, as well as gaps in its creation. So in the army there were no domestic floating vehicles.
At the same time, four-wheel drive Ford GPA amphibians and six-wheeled DUKW trucks received under the Lend-Lease program made it easier for Soviet troops to cross the rivers of Eastern Europe at the final stage of the war.

It is quite natural that this military equipment was taken into account by the military and after the end of the conflict it was included in the long-term rearmament plan along with other models. In the USSR, the design of both passenger and cargo floating vehicles began.

First of all, the Soviet military was interested in a light command vehicle that could cross various water barriers and move in the same group with armored vehicles. The cargo 6-wheeled DUKW became the first prototype for the ZIS-485 - a large waterfowl vehicle (BAV), and the GAZ-46 - a small waterfowl vehicle (MAV) eventually became an analogue of the Ford GPA floating jeep in the USSR.
