AMO ZiL, (Russian "Zavod imeni Likhachova"), or the Moscow Joint-Stock Firm "Likhachov Plant", and more commonly known as ZiL (Russian: Завод имени Лихачёва (ЗиЛ)-Likhachov Plant, literally "Plant named for Likhachov") is really a major Russian automobile, truck, military vehicle, and heavy equipment manufacturer located in the city of Moscow, Russia. Zil has a history of exporting trucks to help Cuba, a business resumed within the early 21st century. [1]ZiL has also produced armored cars for some Soviet leaders, as well as chartering, armored fighting vehicles, and aerosani. The company also produces hand-built limousines and high-end luxury sedans (автомобиль представительского класса, also translated as "luxury vehicle") in extremely low quantities, primarily for the ex - Soviet and current Euro government officials. ZiL passenger cars will set you back the equivalent of versions by Maybach and Rolls-Royce, but are largely unknown outside the Commonwealth of Independent Declares, and production now rarely exceeds 12 cars per year.
