The Ghabbour group entered the heavy vehicle market in 1976, building superstructures on trucks, draw bar trailers and semi trailers. In 1985 production started of buses in collaboration with Duple Metsec from the UK for bodywork and Scania for chassis. In 1993 cheaper bus (and truck) models of TATA Motors started being supplied and from 1998 onwards high quality Volvo products were marketed.
In 2010 a new large bus plant was opened in collaboration with Marcopolo (GB Polo) in which Marcopolo bus models are built for Egypt and the Middle East market. Ghabbour also became the representative for Irisbus. GB Auto also assembles, imports and exclusively distributes commercial vehicles (buses and trucks) in Egypt under the Volvo and Mitsubishi brands, as well as manufacturing trailers and superstructures.
