The Ebro brand was established in 1954 to produce British designed Ford trucks. In our factory, powertrain, clutch, steering and brake parts are produced for this brand.
The pioneer of the Ebro brand is the company founded in Spain in 1920 under the name Ford Motor Co SAE. In 1929, the company changed its name to Ford Motor Ibérica SA. In the period up to the Second World War, cars, buses, trucks and tractors of the Ford series were assembled and sold in Spain under the Ford brand. So the parent company of Ebro trucks is Motor Ibérica.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Ebro was established in 1954 to manufacture original British designed Ford trucks based on the Ford brand's Thames Trader ET4 4X2 and ET6 6X4 models. Cooperation with Ford England continued until 1965.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the company took over four Spanish light vehicle manufacturers:
It also entered the agricultural tractor market with a license agreement with Massey-Ferguson. In this way, Motor became the main shareholder of Ibérica.
In the 1980s it introduced the E-series trucks, consisting of six models with a gross weight of 3,500 to 11,200 kg, and the P-series, with a gross weight of between 13,000 and 27,000 kg. It also continued the production of the lighter Avia series.
At the end of 1979, due to the economic crisis, Massey Ferguson sold its 33% stake to Nissan, which was looking for a production site in Europe. In 1981, the agricultural machinery division was sold to Kubota. It is currently traded under the name Ebro-Kubota. At the same time, Nissan increased its stake to 55%. In 1986, Nissan acquired Ebro Motor Ibérica entirely. In 1987, the company's name was changed to Nissan Motor Ibérica.
Below are some tractor models of the Ebro brand. Apart from the mentioned tractor models, there are many models.
