The city is best known as the home of Russia's largest car manufacturer AvtoVAZ (Lada). It was renamed after Italian communist politician Palmiro Togliatti in 1964.[12] For this reason, Tolyatti is often dubbed "Russia's motor city" or "Russia's Motown" (in reference to Detroit in the United States—the spiritual home of the American automotive industry).
