exact dates unknown

Reducer used in vehicles with VM engine. No information on the specific type of reducer, only the manufacturer is known.

KIA reducer (Borg Warner)

2009 - 2018.

The reducer was used until production ended. After DZT resumed production in 2008, it replaced the popular and reputable Gniezno reducer. The main reason was the discontinuation of production of the existing distribution boxes. The reducer is characterized by electronic control with a knob(4x2Hi,4x4Hi, 4x4Lo). It allows you to disconnect the drive of the front axle. It comes together with the KIA GY71 gearbox.
