Liberecké Automobilové Závody

LIAZ (LIberecké Automobilové Závody – Liberec Automobile Works) was a former Czech and Czechoslovak manufacturer of trucks.

The company was formed in 1951 by the government as a division of Škoda, incorporating eight other truck manufacturers into a single conglomerate.

Škoda LIAZ's main truck plants were located in Liberec, Rýnovice, Mnichovo Hradiště, and Jablonec nad Nisou.

[1] However, after the 1989 revolution and subsequent economic problems, LIAZ lost almost all of its sales and was unable to find new customers, leading to a gradual decline in production.

In 2000, the company was bought by Slovakian Sipox Holding, which lacked sufficient funds to sustain production.
