Škoda 760

RGW-Auto was a joint project for the construction of passenger cars in the former East Germany and Czechoslovakia. Both countries were members of Comecon (the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance). The aging Trabant 601, Wartburg 353, Škoda 100 and Dacia 1300 were to be replaced by vehicles with a modern design. The manufacturers involved were Automobilwerk Eisenach (Wartburg), Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau (Trabant), AZNP Mladá Boleslav (Škoda) and Uzina de Autoturisme Pitești (Dacia). Mass production of the ambitious project was to begin in 1978, but it never happened.

==History== ===Background=== In both countries, it was noticed at the end of the 1960s that the local automotive industry was increasingly moving away from western manufacturers in terms of its technologies. Exports to non-socialist economic areas (NSW) such as Great Britain were also important to both countries, as this allowed foreign exchange to be procured. With these, socialist countries could easily procure goods such as special machines in NSW that were not available in the socialist area.
