'''LIAZ''' ([[Liberec|'''LI'''berecké]] '''A'''utomobilové '''Z'''ávody – ''[[Liberec]] Automobile Works'') was a former [[Czech Republic|Czech]] and [[Czechoslovakia|Czechoslovak]] manufacturer of trucks. The company was formed in 1951 by the government as a division of [[Škoda Works|Škoda]], incorporating eight other truck <span lang="EN">manufacturers</span> into a single conglomerate. In 1953, LIAZ became independent of Škoda but continued to use its name until 1984 (Škoda LIAZ). After the [[Revolutions of 1989|1989 revolution]], there was a significant decrease in production.


==History==
'''LIAZ''' ([[Liberec|'''LI'''berecké]] '''A'''utomobilové '''Z'''ávody - ''[[Liberec]] Automobil Works'') is a defunct [[Czech Republic|Czech]] and [[Czechoslovakia|Czechoslovak]] manufacturer of trucks. <!--LIAZs headquarters was in city of [[Jablonec nad Nisou]], where another manufacturer Reichenberger Automobilfabrik (RAF) merged to [[Škoda Auto|Škoda]] - unverified--> The company was formed in 1951 by the government as a division of [[Škoda Auto|Škoda]]. In 1953 LIAZ became independent of Škoda, but still continued to use its name until 1984 (Škoda LIAZ). Main plants were in [[Rýnovice]], [[Mnichovo Hradiště]] and [[Liberec]], later there have been opened factories in [[Mělník]], [[Zvolen]], [[Veľký Krtíš]], [[Přerov]] and [[Holýšov]]. In the 1970s LIAZ was the biggest Czechoslovak truck manufacturer. The production ceased in 2002.
LIAZ's headquarters in [[Liberec]] were originally occupied by the former ''[[:de:Reichenberger_Automobil_Fabrik|Reichenberger Automobil Fabrik]]'' (RAF).<ref name=LuK>{{cite magazine |ref=LundK |last=Schauen |first=Till |title=Bau-genossen |trans-title=The joys of cooperative building |language=de |pages=62–63 |issue=1 (December/January 2016) |volume=24 |date=December 2015 |magazine=Last & Kraft |publisher=Vereinigte Fachverlage |location=Mainz, Germany |issn=1613-1606}}</ref> RAF opened its Liberec plant in 1907, was bought by [[Laurin & Klement]] in 1912, and in 1916 moved its production technology to [[Mladá Boleslav]], leaving Liberec's production facilities to textile entrepreneurs.


Škoda LIAZ's main truck plants were located in [[Liberec]], [[Rýnovice]], [[Mnichovo Hradiště]], and [[Jablonec nad Nisou]]. Eventually, factories were opened in [[Mělník]], [[Zvolen]], [[Veľký Krtíš]], [[Přerov]], and [[Holýšov]]. LIAZ gradually expanded, employing 11,000 workers and producing 13,600 utility vehicles annually by 1975. In the 1970s, LIAZ was the largest Czechoslovak truck manufacturer, with an annual production of 15,000 trucks and plants operating at full capacity.<ref name=LuK/>

However, after the [[Revolutions of 1989|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. Not even the introduction of a new, modern Škoda 400 line (Xena and Fox) could improve the company's fortunes. In 2000, the company was bought by [[Slovakia]]n Sipox Holding, which lacked sufficient funds to sustain production. Production of LIAZ vehicle ceased in September 2003.<ref name="fejgl">{{cite web |url=http://www.liaz.cz/historie.php |title=Historie podniku Liaz |language=cs |last=Fejgl |first=David |publisher=liaz.cz |access-date=17 January 2018}}</ref>

In 2006, Tedom Truck, based in Třebíč, acquired all rights to produce LIAZ trucks, including the factory, technical documentation, and engine production know-how. It produced the Fox model line and modernized older LIAZ vehicles. However, the company went into liquidation on January 1, 2010. Due to financial difficulties, only 19 vehicles were produced annually out of the planned 5,000, with only nine being modernized LIAZ models.<ref>{{cite news |title=Liaz v nové době: Jak dopadl známý severočeský výrobce nákladních vozů? |url=http://www.auto.cz/liaz-nove-dobe-jak-dopadl-znamy-severocesky-vyrobce-nakladnich-vozu-98006 |work=Auto.cz |date=7 September 2016 |language=cs |access-date=2024-03-28}}</ref>

LIAZ 706 MT – one of the most successful series

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. In 1953, LIAZ became independent of Škoda but continued to use its name until 1984 (Škoda LIAZ). After the 1989 revolution, there was a significant decrease in production.

History

[edit]

LIAZ's headquarters in Liberec were originally occupied by the former Reichenberger Automobil Fabrik (RAF).[1] RAF opened its Liberec plant in 1907, was bought by Laurin & Klement in 1912, and in 1916 moved its production technology to Mladá Boleslav, leaving Liberec's production facilities to textile entrepreneurs.

Škoda LIAZ's main truck plants were located in Liberec, Rýnovice, Mnichovo Hradiště, and Jablonec nad Nisou. Eventually, factories were opened in Mělník, Zvolen, Veľký Krtíš, Přerov, and Holýšov. LIAZ gradually expanded, employing 11,000 workers and producing 13,600 utility vehicles annually by 1975. In the 1970s, LIAZ was the largest Czechoslovak truck manufacturer, with an annual production of 15,000 trucks and plants operating at full capacity.[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. Not even the introduction of a new, modern Škoda 400 line (Xena and Fox) could improve the company's fortunes. In 2000, the company was bought by Slovakian Sipox Holding, which lacked sufficient funds to sustain production. Production of LIAZ vehicle ceased in September 2003.[2]

In 2006, Tedom Truck, based in Třebíč, acquired all rights to produce LIAZ trucks, including the factory, technical documentation, and engine production know-how. It produced the Fox model line and modernized older LIAZ vehicles. However, the company went into liquidation on January 1, 2010. Due to financial difficulties, only 19 vehicles were produced annually out of the planned 5,000, with only nine being modernized LIAZ models.[3]

The LIAZ brand was acquired by the Czechoslovak Group, and on December 22, 2017, LIAZ Trucks was established.[4]
