AvtoVAZ began making cars on April 19, 1966! π
At first, it created cars using techniques from Italy because they wanted to build good quality vehicles. In 1970, they launched their first car, the Lada 1200, and it became very popular! Over the years, AvtoVAZ faced challenges like the end of the Soviet Union in 1991. π
But it kept going! In 2012, Renault-Nissan bought shares in the
company to help it grow. Today, AvtoVAZ continues to make cars known for their sturdy design, which is very important in Russiaβs climate and roads!
