== History == The date of the plant's foundation is considered to be 1863. In 1908, the company was founded, which later became the Melitopol Motor Plant (MeMZ). In 1923, the former Abram Koop plant was renamed "Communar". In 1960, the Melitopol Motor Plant began supplying its engines to the Zaporizhzhia Automobile Plant. Since 1975, MeMZ has been a part of the production association "AvtoZAZ". Today, it is one of the structural elements of PJSC "ZAZ". In 1961, the plant was renamed to "Zaporizhzhia Automobile Plant". The plant was engaged in the production of a single car, ZAZ-965, which went down in history as a "humpbacked Zaporozhets".
