IBC Vehicles Limited
Overview
IBC Vehicles traffic in the Trafic, and a few other commercial vans, too. Formed in 1987 as a joint venture between General Motors (GM) and Isuzu, the Luton, UK-based IBC became a wholly owned subsidiary of GM in 1998. Vans made at IBC are part of a 1996 partnership between GM and Renault. Renault has driven design, development, and engine supply, and GM the manufacturing end. IBC is reportedly the biggest van producer in the UK, able to turn out about 90,000 units a year. A dedicated large van plant since 2003, IBC is the only GM operation geared up for the Renault Trafic, Vauxhall/Opel Vivaro, and Nissan Primastar. Before being phased out in 2003, the SUV Frontera was also made by IBC for the European market.
