Automobile Industry of Liotain

== Companies ==
* Flavia: Liotain's largest car manufacturer, with its headquarters and primary factory in [[Rokantiskes]]. Flavia was originally a coachbuilder (and still builds coaches, on a decreasing scale) but moved into the automobile industry early in the process. They have three models in production as of 1907. 
* Vytautis: Headquartered in the Neris suburb of Seta, the Vytautis Company is another coachbuilder that made the transition to an automobile manufacturer. Vytautis has a high reputation for their innovative design features, but they have struggled with motors. 
* Gorkunv: The Gorkunv company was founded by prolific Breizhoned-born inventor __ Gorkunv, who started building motorcycles before switching to machine guns. The motorcycle-based portion of the industry expanded into automobiles in 1901. 
* Ascania: Although Liotain's fourth-largest automaker, Ascania has struggled with their business, largely due to the oddity of their designs. Their first vehicle was a tricycle-car powered by a pair of motorcycle engines. They produced a successful truck in 1904 which has partially revived their brand. However, from 1903 onward, they have competed successfully with Gorkunv in the motorcycle business.
* Sabra: Originally producing steam tractors and mechanical harvesting equipment, Sabra began to diversify into automobiles in 1903. Their small automotive factory outside Sventoji is cramped, contributing to a low production and sales rate. 
* ALFA Remeo: Founded in 1906 by a small group of engineers who left Flavia, ALFA Remeo has established themselves in Girkalnis. Due to the high expertise of their initial personnel, they turned in a very respectable first-year performance. 
* Titan: Opening their doors in 1903, Titan is headquartered in Eletrenai. Their 1905 model, which sold twenty-five units, resulted in such poor publicity that the company nearly went under in 1906. They have switched to trucks for 1907, although it remains unclear if the company will survive. 
* Allvelo: A Telsai-based bicycle manufacturer, Allvelo has produced a number of motorcycles before dabbling in automobiles, mostly on an artisanal scale. 
* GELA: This Rokantiskes-based firm has been license-building a Firoccan automobile design, albeit in modest numbers. 
* Rimsa: Operating in the suburbs of Neris, the Rimsa firm builds automobiles on the artisanal scale. Every single vehicle is custom-designed from the chassis up based on the whims of the customer.
