History

The new bombshell plant, which began its history on July 5, 1939, received equipment and workers evacuated from the approaching front of the Moscow Automobile Plant ZiS with the beginning of the war. Less than four months after the arrival of the equipment, it was possible to start the production of some spare parts, and about a year later the decision of the state authorities was made to transform the entire enterprise into an automobile plant.

The first truck ZiC-5B, completely manufactured at the new plant, left the plant in July 1944. In 1958, the company produced UralZiS-355M, its first off-road truck, and three years later there was a much more perfect three-axle truck “Ural-375″. href=”/854-ural-375.html”>Ural-375.
