Bus builders in Jordan

Jordan does have a fairly large bus market. Good quality buses from nearby production in Turkey, Egypt amd Iran were readily available, but there still seemed to be room for local assembly and bus body building. ELBA HOUSE, a long-established construction firm, started bus body building in 1992, using technology obtained from Auwärter in Germany. Go to the ELBA page for more information on ELBA buses. The official ELBA web page can be found here: www.elbahouse.com.
During the second decade of the 21st century Chinese buses became important and took over a large part of the new bus market. ELBA started working with Chinese bus builders and assembles Chinese bus bodies under its own brand name.

Another brand seen in Jordan is COVEMA. This concerns a midibus of which apparently only one batch was built around 2004.

Local bus building must have existed before. Some buses with unkown, probably locally built bodies, are shown on the “old unidentified buses” page.
