Ukrainian Automobile Corporation JSC or UkrAVTO is a multinational company, distributor and service provider in Ukraine. UkrAVTO is the only car manufacturer in Ukraine with a full scale production technology. The owner, Honorary President / Chairman of the Board is Tariel Vasadze.

The UkrAVTO history traces back to the establishment of the Main Department of Vehicle Maintenance and Repair in 1969, which then included 7 regional production departments and about 50 service centers. Later, it was reorganized into the Ukrainian Rental Production Association called Avtoservis. It included 7 regional centers, 25 regional enterprises, 105 service stations and 90 spare parts sales showrooms.

In 2002, AvtoZAZ Daewoo, the flagship of the Ukrainian automobile industry, a plant that produces cars in a full cycle — from sheet metal to the test track, became part of the Corporation. In 2003, after signing a distribution agreement with General Motors in 2003, the Ukrainian Automobile Corporation has begun to produce Opel and Chevrolet on its assembly line. In 2004, UkrAVTO concluded an agreement on the distribution and later on the production of Chery brand cars. In 2008, the company began KIA cars distribution, as well as joint production of Chevrolet Aveo with General Motors at FSO. In 2011, ZAZ started production of ZAZ Forza under Chery's license, and in 2012—ZAZ Vida under General Motors' license. In 2013, UkrAVTO Corporation began distributing the Italian brands Ducati and Maserati. On December 1, 2021, the Ukrainian Automobile Corporation signed a distribution agreement with the Chinese auto giant Geely to return the brand back to Ukraine.

Over the past 10 years, from 2013 to 2023, almost 2,500,000 cars have undergone maintenance and repair services through the UkrAVTO network in Ukraine. In 2023, UkrAVTO officially returns the SSANGYONG brand to the Ukrainian market under the new name KG MOBILITY, with a completely new lineup of SUVs.

In 1998, after the modernization of the Zaporizhzhia Automobile Building Plant, the company began to produce Lanos, Nubira, Leganza and modernized Tavria cars, which were in high demand on the Ukrainian car market. Car production at ZAZ facilities is provided by approximately 500 different suppliers of equipment and components (roughly 400 are Ukrainian ones, with 100 others being foreign enterprises).
