LiAZ (Russian: Ликинский автобусный завод (ЛиАЗ), romanized: Likinskiy Avtobusnyi Zavod, lit.
Starting in 2015, the GAZ Group has introduced a single brand for all its bus manufacturing subsidiaries, and newly manufactured vehicles now feature the deer badge of the GAZ company.
In 1967 the factory designed and began manufacturing the first bus model of its own named LiAZ-677.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, LiAZ started to experience difficulties.
The factory has since been restructured and is now known as Likinskij Avtobusnyj Zavod LLC.
