The Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant was founded in 1941, when the Moscow factory ZIS was evacuated east after the German invasion. It first made artillery shells and then vehicles, starting with the ZIS-5 three-ton truck.
UAZ later produced the GAZ-69 and, from 1958, its own UAZ-450 range, the first Soviet cab-over truck. Since 2000 the plant has been part of the Sollers automotive group and remains best known for the UAZ-469.
