KAvZ (Russian: Курганский автобусный завод (КАвЗ), romanized: Kurgansky Avtobusny Zavod, lit. 'Kurgan Bus Plant') is a bus manufacturer in Kurgan, KGN, Russia. The factory started producing buses in 1958, based on trucks from GAZ. During the 1990s, it assembled Ikarus buses for the Russian market. Now a subsidiary of GAZ, it specialises in producing small buses, in particular school buses.
