Company history
On July 20, 1966, the Government of the USSR issued a decree to build in the city of Togliatti a car manufacturing plant that would produce 600 thousand cars per year. This date is considered to be the birthday of the Volga Automobile Plant.
The new facility was built in record time: the construction started in 1967, and in 1970 the first car, VAZ-2101, rolled off the conveyor belt, marking the start of the now famous and popular LADA brand.
