For Spain and Mexico, this model is produced under the name Montero.(hunts) ..

Our relatives of Zhiguli - with them it also turns out everything is not everything smoothly! The new name "Lada" Mark received due to the consonant pronunciation with the word "gigolo" in a number of languages, and highly obscene translation is distinguished by Hungarian. Therefore, Lada cars have been produced for exports already in 1975 (in Russia, the brand is called only since 2004).

And Lada Kalina for Finland was renamed Lada 119 due to the fact that at the Finnish "Kalina" means crackling, rattling and roar. This is not about our cars, right?

As you call the boat, it will float or paraphrase for the car market: "On behalf of this car, the volume of its sales depend."

As a result of the merger in 1926, the Mercedes-Benz company was born by Mercedes-Benz, which was the famous three-gravel star. Today, as 100 years ago, the advanced division of the Daimler AG concern continues to be on top of the world automotive industry.

Founded in 1873, the company was engaged in shipbuilding for a long time, in the 1930s produced small arms, in 1945 turned into a multi-vector corporation with more than 200 areas of activity, and only in the 70s began to master the automotive industry. Mitsubishi in Japanese means "three diamonds" - it is they depicted on the company's emblem, and, accordingly, such signs are logos on all companies of the company.

Nissan is the oldest Japanese automaker leading its activities since 1925. However, until 1934, the company changed a lot of titles as a result of numerous mergers. It is believed that the emblem of the company is the sun rising over the horizon, and this is the oldest car logo that has lived unchanged to the present day.

Opel

The Opel brothers founded their company in 1898, but decided not to go in the footsteps of the father engaged in bicycles and sewing machines, and immediately settled the release of cars. Because of the post-war inflation, GENERAL MOTORS was forced to sell their factory, and the cases went uphill again. Today it is one of the most democratic German brands, the emblem of which symbolizes the speed, lightningness.

The oldest and largest French automotive company produces cars since 1889. Initially focusing on inexpensive mass models, the concern over time mastered the release of all categories of cars. The emblem of Peugeot is a lion, fixed forward - symbolizes the dynamics of cars of this brand.

Ferdinand Porsche founded his design bureau in 1931, and his first success was the racing car Type 22 (1936). Since 1937, with the support of the government, the company has engaged in the production of own cars. Now, this brand is one of the leaders of the class of sports cars, and on the machine emblem there is a raised horse and elements of the emblem of the Earth of Baden-Württemberg, so that the Porsche machine icon with a horse can be called the Saama unique.

Another older french car industry was founded in 1898, it was repeatedly nationalized and then became a private company again. Currently actively cooperates with Nissan. The current look of the logo was received in 2007, and although the company's icon is not sophisticated, the machines of this brand are recognizable and popular.

Seat.

Established in 1950, the company has long been focused on the domestic market for a long time, but with the arrival of Volkswagen, which bought a practically a full package of shares in 1980, the cases of the leading Spanish automaker have sharply went intogoing. Stylized letter S - the third logo of the Spaniards.

Skoda.

Skoda is one of the oldest automakers in Eastern Europe. Founded in 1925, he managed at the beginning of the 30s to release its first model to the local market. In the early 90s, Skoda became the property of the Volkswagen Group concern, and from that moment she is a world-class player. The logo is designed in 2011. The winged boom symbolizes the desire for technical progress. In the list of the aircraft of the world, this icon is one of the most intricate.

Since 1956, Subaru, who became a division of Fuji, released mopeds first, and from 1958 - and cars. Today is a major concern, also producing trucks, industrial equipment, the products of the aviation industry. Six stars on the automaker logo are the image of the constellation of the Pleiades, especially revered in the country of the rising sun.

Like many other Japanese car giants, Suzuki began with activities that are not associated with the automotive industry. Since 1920, she specialized in the manufacture of weaving machines, and only in 1937 began to develop their own car. Success came in the second half of the 20th century. Today, cars under this brand are sold in 170 countries. Company emblem - stylized hieroglyph letter S.

By the way, Toyota also originally produced weaving machines since 1935, but after a year he retrained into an automaker. In 1962, the concern was submitted by a millionth frontier, and today it is the largest global manufacturer of passenger cars of all classes. The Toyota logo is a thread, drowning in the needle, as the heritage of past specialization (we note that almost all the brands of Japanese cars have icons, over the decipher of the meaning of which you need to think carefully).

The first car Volkswagen (that in the translation means "folk car") saw the light in 1935. The model immediately became a bestseller, having received the nickname "Beetle" for his small dimensions and rounded shapes. After a ten-year break, the brand has been revived, sowing to restore its fame of the manufacturer of available vehicles. The logo of the concern has repeatedly changed, the author of the final design is Franz Raympecis from Porsche.

Volvo.

Founded in 1924, the company initially sought to rely on Swedish components. The first model turned out to be successful, and in 1927 the company received the name Volvo (from Latin "I am kicked"). In addition to passenger cars, Volvo specializes in the production of trucks, which even succeeded much more. All Swedish cars are distinguished by a high level of safety and reliability. Among the European brands of the VOLVO emblem, the schematic representation of the Roman God of War Mars is not the most recognizable, since the current species acquired relatively recently.

Gorky Automobile Plant entered service in 1932 by issuing his first truck (the famous "half-timer"). The production of passenger cars has been established already in the postwar years. "Victory" and "Volga" are the most famous brand models. Now in the line of passenger cars dominates GAZ-3110 / GAZ-3111. The company's logo is based on the coat of arms of Nizhny Novgorod (the current isoovically the Russian name of Gorky).

In 1967, the construction of AvtoVAZ, the plant, which was conceived as the leader of the Soviet automotive industry began. Such, he became - the first VAZ came down from the conveyor in 1971. Later, one of the brands of a car giant, Lada, became dominant. Today, the company's assortment is a considerable number of models that every year becomes more perfect, approaching the quality of foreign cars.

The most famous Russian car brand has an emblem in the form of a rook enclosed in an oval, which appeared in 1994. Authorship of the final design version belongs to Steve Mattin, the former VOLVO designer.

The AZLK plant became the first in Soviet history, established in 1930 the production of passenger cars. A real bestseller became Moskvich-412, produced since 1967 - after seven years from the conveyor, a two-million copy of the conveyor, in 1986 - four millionthly. Unfortunately, the plant today stagnates. Emblem "Moskvich" - a letter M. stylized under the Kremlin wall

Formed in 1942 on the basis of the evacuated plant ZIL, in the post-war years the enterprise mastered the release of megapopular "UAZ", designed on the basis of GAZ-69. The AZ-469 SUV was equally popular, launched in production in 1972.

Having survived the collapse of the Soviet Union, UAZ managed to recover. The current brand logo is a bird against the background of the Sun and the inscription of the Green Breen.

So, we introduced you to the most famous brands and emblems of cars, with the history of their name and icons. We hope that this information will be interesting for you interesting and useful.

I am sure most people do not even realize that they symbolize the emblems that are mounted on cars. This article provides information on the origin and semantic value of the logos of the main automakers in the world.

There are many options for interpretation of emblems. Almost all of these versions are fictional. On the pages of one car forum, I met an opinion that the Toyota emblem is a stylized image of a bull head. Of course, it is incorrect and has nothing to do with the history of the firm. It was surprised that a person who set out this version was completely confident in his right.

In the process of writing the article, more than two hundred different sources were analyzed (including official data), so that you can be confident in the accuracy of the information on this page.

Audi AG (Ingolstadt, Germany)

Audi emblem - four metal rings. The plexus of these rings symbolizes the unreal unity of four Founders: Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer. In 1932, these previously independent firms were merged into the Union - "Auto Union".

The autocontracean was named after its founder - Augusta Khortha. The fact is that the word of the chorus (Horch - "listen") translated into Latin sounds like "Audi".

Here, naturally, the question arises. Why did not receive the Founder's name? The fact is that August churn in 1899 opened his car manufacturing company (A. Horch & Cie). After 10 years he was outlived from his own company, and he founded a new one, already in another city, continuing to use the same brand - Horch. His former partners filed him to court and led the brand, so August was forced to come up with a new company name.

Bayerische Motorenwerke (Munich, Germany)

There is an erroneous opinion that the Bayerische Motorenwerke emblem is a stylized image of the rotating propeller of the aircraft. But in fact, the BVA flag is taken as the basis of the BMW emblem (so interprets the origin of the National Geographic channel logo).

BMW was founded by Karl Friedrich Rappa in 1913 on the Bavarian lands near the Flugmaschinenfabrik aircraft factor. Initially, the company produced aviation engines. In 1923, BMW produces its first motorcycle. Later, in 1929, releases the first car under the name of DIXI.

Citroen (Paris, France)

The Citroen emblem is a schematic diagram of a chevron wheel teeth. The chevron wheel is called a gear with V-shaped teeth (such a structure of the teeth solves the problem of the axial force, when using the chevron wheels, there is no need to install the shafts for stubborn bearings).

The company was named after its founder - Andre Citroen.

In 1913, Andre Citroen established the production of such gear, which largely exceeded the products of competitors. This explains the choice of emblem.

Few people know that PSA Peugeot Citroen is Citroen's maternal company. In 1974, the automotive industry PSA Peugeot Citroen (earlier PEUGEOT SA) bought a 38.2% of Citroen shares, and by 1976 brought this stake to 89.95% (at that time Citroen was on the verge of bankruptcy). After that, this company was created, producing Cars Peugeot and Citroen.

These two brands belonging to PSA Peugeot Citroen have independent promotion structures on the market and retail sales networks, but the development and production of models is carried out by common divisions.

Infiniti (Tokyo, Japan)

First, the designers wanted to use an infinity symbol in the emblem - Mebius loop. But then they decided to display the symbol of the road to infinity in the emblem, a symbol hinting at an endless way to perfection in everything.

The name of the brand is translated as infinity, infinity.

Infiniti is a subsidiary of Nissan and its history is quite interesting. It all started in the distant sixties of the 20th century. At this time, Nissan autocompany entered the US market. Americans pulled out benefits and began to buy inexpensive and reliable cars of the company. Soon Nissan has established itself as a manufacturer of cars economy class, in connection with this it was inappropriate to release high-level cars under the same brand. For this, the Infiniti brand was created.

Mazda Motor Corporation (Hiroshima, Japan)

On the emblem of this autocompany there is a stylized letter "M", depicting painted wings. The company was named after the Zoroastrian God of Life named Ahura Mazda (he is Ormazd). Also, the word "Mazda" is consonant with the name of the founder of Dzudziro Matsuda (1875-1952).

The company was founded in 1920, and began its activities with the production of building materials from cork tree. In 1927, the company began to industrial production of cars.

And now about what is the famous zoom-zoom. Look at how children play cars, listen to the fact that they are pronounced - "LJ-LJ". Duck Here, children in English-speaking countries do it like this - "zoom-zoom" (zoom zoom). So Mazda shows the image of a brand with a sports character who can lead the buyer to the children's delight.

Mercedes-Benz (Stuttgart, Germany)

The emblem was created in the form of a three-beam star, symbolizing the superiority of the brand in the air, on the water and on land, as Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (it is the maternal for the company for Mercedes-Benz), in addition to cars, produced engines for aviation and ships.

In 1926, a laurel wreath for victories in auto racing began to be collapsed on the Mercedes emblem.

Interestingly, the MERCEDES brand has received its name in honor of the daughter of one of the founders of the concern - Emil Elling.

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (Tokyo, Japan)

The emblem of this concern is a merger of family coat of arms of the founders: the genus Ivasaki (three rhombus) and the Tosa clan (three oak sheets growing from one point).

Mitsubishi's name consists of two Japanese words: Mitsu and Hishi. Mitsu, translated from Japanese, means the number three. The word Hishi is translated as chestnut, water walnut, it is also used to designate a diamond form.

I would like to note one fact - the emblem of this company has never changed and, to this day, has a primordial appearance.

Also, I think you will be interested to know what Mitsubishi activity is not limited to the release of cars. This is a whole corporation, the spectrum of activity of which is very wide: from the release of paper (Mitsubishi Paper Mills) before the production of tanks, ships and even spacecraft (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries).

Opel (Rüsselsheim, Germany)

On the Opel emblem depicts lightning.

For the first time, the word blitz appears on bicycles and sewing machines (at that time the company has not yet produced cars) Adam Opel in 1890. Blitz (translated from German - lightning, fast) symbolizes lightningness and speed.

Renault S. A. (Paris, France)

The Renault emblem since 1925 has a stylized diamond form. The modern version of the logo was represented by Viktor Vazareli in 1972. And the first Renault logo was painted in 1900, he contained the initials of the three Renault brothers: Louis, Ferdinand and Marseille.

At 21, Louis Renault constructed his first car in the yard of the parent home. Soon he began to receive orders for cars and in 1898 with brothers and friends founded in Boulogne Biyankour (this is the Western suburb of Paris) Societe Renault Freres.

ŠKODA AUTO (Mlada Boleslav, Czech Republic)

On the Skoda emblem, an arrow is depicted, on the wing of a bird wing with a circle (eye).

Symbols of logo elements:

• The wing symbolizes the scope of the production program and the sale of car cars around the world, the versatility of production;
• The circle (eye) on the wing indicates the accuracy of production and latitude of views;
• The boom is a symbol of progressive methods of production and high performance;
• A large circle (ring) symbolizes the perfection of products, the versatility of production, the globe, the world;
• Black color indicates age-old traditions;
• Green color indicates that the company takes care of the environment.

Subaru (Tokyo, Japan)

In the Constellation of the Taurus there is a cluster of stars, which is called Subaru (this is the Japanese name, in the West they call - Pleiads). In this constellation, the unarmed eye shows the 6 stars, which we see on the company's emblem, only they are located not as in the cluster.

A little story: SUBARU autoconecern is a division of Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI), which is engaged in aircraft. The head of Kenji Kita was a Yarym supporter of the production of cars and treated it very passionately. He arranged a competition for choosing a name for the car P-1 (the first prototype of the passenger car released by the company in 1954), but none of the proposed options interested him. Then he gave him the name for a long time he was in his heart - Subaru. This name, in Japanese, is consonant with the word Mitsuraboshi, which in the literal translation means six stars. Another interesting fact is that FHI has been formed by a merger of 6 companies.

Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota, Japan)

According to official data, the emblem of Toyota is an image of stylized looped loop. There is an erroneous opinion that the emblem is an image of a sewing needle, in which the thread has grown.

It is hard to catch a link between the largest autocompany in the world and weaving loops, not knowing it. The fact is that Toyoda (Toyoda Automatic Loom Works - so earlier was called the company, she received its name from the surname of the head of Kiitiro Torad) began its activities as a company for the production of automatic weaving machines.

Toyota Motor Corporation was founded as an independent company in 1937. As you have noticed, its name has been changed. Prerequisite for this served three reasons, namely:

• The convenience of pronunciation;
• The word Toyota written by a Japanese alphabet consists of 8 traits (Toyota hieroglyphs). According to the head of the company, this name turned out to be more successful, as it is believed that the number 8 brings good luck;
• If you share the word Toyota on Toyo (abundance) and Ta (Fig), then the expression will be expressed "zoom-zoom", and in the east it symbolizes wealth. In some sources there is another option to transfer the word Toyo - East Ocean (To - East, Yo - Ocean).

Volkswagen (Wolfsburg, Germany)
