== History == thumb|right|250px|Fire engine ARP-2 based on the ZIS-150 (2015) thumb|right|250px|Restored ZIS-150 in Wersdorf (Germany) (2023) Already at the end of the 1930s, the ZIS-5 truck (ЗИС-5) was to be replaced by a modern design. Since the Soviet automobile industry had gained experience with US designs through the licensed production of the Ford AA as GAZ-AA, its new developments were strongly influenced by American truck construction. This applied in particular to the design, but also to the widespread installation of gasoline engines instead of diesel engines. In 1938, the Stalin Works presented the newly designed vehicle under the name ZIS-15 (ЗИС-15). The ZIS-15 had a newly developed chassis, an advanced engine with an output of 82 hp (60 kW) and a new all-metal cab with three seats.
