Zavolzhsky Tracked Tractor Plant, widely abbreviated ZZGT, is a Russian machine-building enterprise in Zavolzhye, Nizhny Novgorod region. Public sources connect the plant to amphibious tracked all-terrain carriers and identify it as the maker of the GAZ-3344-20 Aleut.

This builder profile is intentionally narrow: it exists to support catalog records for ZZGT tracked carriers and to keep the manufacturer facet separate from broader GAZ Group or Russian defense-industry labels.
