The city's main claim to fame has been automobiles [[Lada]] ([[Zhiguli (car brand)|Zhiguli]]) manufactured by [[AvtoVAZ]] car plant employing some 110,000 people: in cooperation with [[Fiat|Italy's Fiat]] since 1970, with [[General Motors]] since 2001<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lada-owners-club.co.uk/|title=Home|website=www.lada-owners-club.co.uk}}</ref> and with the [[Renault-Nissan Alliance]] since 2012, and once again becoming an independent, state-owned enterprise in 2022.

Other industries have moved into Tolyatti because it is close to abundant supplies of electricity and water. Petrochemicals are well represented in the city. Among the significant enterprises based there are "[[TogliattiAzot]]" (Russia's biggest ammonia manufacturer headed{{when|date=February 2015}}<!-- when was this current? --> by [[Sergei Makhlai]]) and "[[KuibyshevAzot]]" (a nitrogen fertilizer manufacturer and Russia's biggest [[caprolactam]] and [[polyamide]] producer). Other industries include building materials production, ship repair and electrical equipment and electronics.{{citation needed|date=February 2015}}

In 2011 the Tolyatti [[Special Economic Zone]] was launched in order to develop the region further and diversify the economy of the city. Several auto-component producers (German Mubea and Japanese Sanoh among them) have since been registered, as well as large industrial manufacturers ([[Praxair]] and [[Edscha]]). By November 2012 the value of project investment totalled 10 billion Rubles and around 3000 jobs were being created.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://oeztlt.ru/en/|title=Особая экономическая зона "Тольятти"|website=oeztlt.ru}}</ref>

===Transportation===
The transport system is well developed in the city. Public transport includes municipal buses and trolley-buses, and so-called "alternative" (commercial) transport or [[marshrutka]]s.

External transport routes are provided by two bus stations, two railway stations and a city harbour. Tolyatti has its airport as well, but it is used by personal aircraft only (the nearest international airport, [[Kurumoch International Airport|Kurumoch]], is located 40&nbsp;km away, towards [[Samara, Russia|Samara]]). The city is linked to the federal road network by the [[M5 highway (Russia)|M5 "Ural" highway]].{{citation needed|date=February 2015}}<gallery mode="packed">
