The ZIL-158 , ( Russian ЗИЛ-158 ), was a bus made by the Soviet manufacturer Zavod imeni Lichatschowa , or ZIL for short. From 1959 production was relocated to Likinski Avtobusny Zavod (LiAZ). From 1961 the vehicles were only delivered under the name LiAZ-158 . With over 70,000 units built, the bus was very widespread in the Soviet Union in the 1960s. It had a front-mounted gasoline engine ; a rear-engined version was also made, which was named ZIL-159 .
History
In 1957, ZIL began manufacturing a successor to the now outdated ZIS-155 city bus . Shortly afterwards, the decision was made to relocate production to LiAZ in Likino-Duljowo . Production of the model began there - still under the name ZIL-158 - in 1959. Production then ran in parallel in both plants. The ZIL-158W version was still being developed by ZIL, but only manufactured by LiAZ under the name LiAZ-158W. In 1961 production at ZIL was discontinued, and for more than 30 years no buses were manufactured in series. This only changed with the introduction of the ZIL-3250 in the late 1990s. LiAZ continued to produce the vehicle under the name LiAZ-158 until 1970, when it was replaced by the successor LiAZ-677, which had been built in parallel since 1967 .
