SeAZ (Russian: Серпуховский автомобильный завод, romanized: Serpukhovsky Avtomobilny Zavod, lit. 'Serpukhov Automobile Plant') was a large engineering plant in Serpukhov, Moscow Oblast, Russia. From 1939 to 1995, the company was called SMZ (Serpukhov Motorcycle Plant) and produced various cyclecars for use by disabled drivers, usually powered by IZh motorcycle engines. Between 1991 and 2008 it also produced Lada Oka microcars developed by AvtoVAZ. The company was declared bankrupt in 2013.[1]
