Gaz

GAZ (Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod) is a Russian automotive manufacturer known for producing a wide range of vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, and military vehicles.

Founded in 1932, GAZ has become one of Russia's largest and most important vehicle manufacturers. Over the years, the company has produced a variety of vehicles that have been used both domestically and internationally, with a focus on durability, practicality, and rugged performance.

In the 1960s, GAZ introduced several new models, including the GAZ-21 Volga, a mid-size sedan that became one of the most iconic Soviet cars. The Volga was known for its luxury, comfort, and durability, making it popular among government officials and higher-ranking citizens. The GAZ-24 Volga followed in the 1970s and became one of the most widely used cars in the Soviet Union. GAZ also began to produce buses and light commercial vehicles during this period, expanding its lineup to cater to a wider range of consumers and industries.

The 1990s were a challenging time for GAZ, as the collapse of the Soviet Union led to economic instability and a decrease in domestic demand for vehicles. In the early 2000s, GAZ began to restructure and modernize its operations. The company started focusing on producing commercial vehicles and light-duty trucks, which were in high demand in the post-Soviet market. In recent years, GAZ has focused on producing heavy-duty trucks, military vehicles, and electric vehicles. The company has partnered with other manufacturers to develop modern technology and expand its product offerings.
