Yugo

Origins The roots of Zastava lay in the 1851 founding in Kragujevac of the Vojno-Tehnicki Zavod (Military Technical Institute). The institute developed a cannon foundry division in 1853, becoming a military vocational school in March 1854. During the 1880s, Zastava also began the production of firearms.At the end of the 19th century the cannon foundry changed its name to the Military Engineering Works. The firm rapidly expanded its production program and the complexity and quality of its products.[4] That original company is now known as Zastava Arms. In 1904, within the company, a section dedicated to automobiles was inaugurated. Besides repair services, certain car parts were also manufactured. In 1939, it begins assembling Chevrolet military trucks. Production came to a halt in 1941 with the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia and, by then, 400 trucks had come out of the factory which consisted of a working force of 12,000 men.
