1909 Russo Baltique

Russo-Baltique (sometimes Russobalt or Russo-Balt) 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.
Today the company is still active in Riga and is producing trailers.
