LuAZ of Lutsk built two four-wheel drives. The 967 TPK of 1961–75 is the smallest and strangest Soviet 4×4: amphibious, air-portable, 950 kg, with folding controls so the driver could lie alongside and steer it from the ground while under fire. The 969 Volyn that followed took the same 1,800 mm wheelbase into civilian use and ran from 1966 to 2002 through five names and three engines — 100,000 cars by 1982.
