Russo-Balt (sometimes Russobalt or Russo-Baltique) was the first Russian company that produced cars between 1909 and 1923.
Between 1909 and 1915 the cars were built at the railway car factory RBVZ in Riga, Latvia and after the 1917 revolution a second factory was opened in Saint Petersburg, where they built armoured cars on chassis produced in Riga. In 1922 the production was moved from Saint Petersburg to BTAZ in Moscow. Russo-Balt produced both trucks and cars, often more or less copies of cars from the German Rex-Simplex or Belgian Fondu.
