Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod (Gorky Automobile Plant) is one of the largest companies in the Russian automotive industry. In May 1929 the Soviet Union signed an agreement with the Ford Motor Company. Under its terms, the Soviets agreed to purchase $13 million worth of automobiles and parts, while Ford agreed to give technical assistance until 1938 to construct an integrated automobile-manufacturing plant at Nizhny Novgorod. Production started on 1 January 1932, and the factory and marque was titled Nizhegorodsky Avtomobilny Zavod (NAZ), but also displayed the Ford sign. In 1933, the factory’s name changed to Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod, or GAZ, when the city was renamed after Maxim Gorky.
During the war GAZ manufactured BA-6 and BA-64 armoured cars, T-60 and T-70 light tanks, and the SU-76 self-propelled gun.
