TagAZ
TagAZ (Taganrog Automobile Plant) is a Russian car manufacturer based in Taganrog, established in 1997 as a joint venture with the South Korean company SsangYong. Through the 2000s it assembled SsangYong models for the Russian market and later developed its own vehicles, including the TagAZ Tager and Road Partner SUVs. Production effectively halted after the company entered bankruptcy proceedings in 2014, and the Taganrog site has since been tied to various industrial uses.
