In 1954, Ford decided to withdraw from the Ford Motor Ib\u00e9rica factory, which was taken over by a group of Spanish businessmen; a year later, it was renamed Motor Ib\u00e9rica S.A. From that point onwards, the company began manufacturing and marketing its products under the new \u201cEbro\u201d brand. Interestingly, the name \u2018EBRO\u2019 was chosen as it was the closest to the name of England\u2019s best-known river (the Thames).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Motor Ib\u00e9rica honoured its commitments to Ford and continued to trade in Spain. This mainly involved FordSon agricultural tractors, the Ford Thames Super 55 lorry and the Ebro B-35. In 1955, aware of the Ford Thames\u2019s proven reliability, Ebro launched the B-35 model, which was an exact copy of the Ford Thames ET6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was a light goods vehicle with a 4\u00d72 layout and a gross vehicle weight of 6,000 kg. Its cab had been designed by the British company Briggs Bodies and was, essentially, identical to those produced by other manufacturers such as Leyland, with its Comet model, or Dodge, with the Kew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The B-35 was designed for a payload of four tonnes and was fitted with a four-cylinder Ebro engine delivering 70 CV. Motor Ib\u00e9rica\u2019s aim was to fill a gap in the medium-tonnage commercial vehicle segment. This segment comprised a highly diverse fleet, the result of a difficult post-war period. To keep them running, the vehicles were \u201cpatched up\u201d to such an extent that they sometimes became unrecognisable. The shortage of raw materials, spare parts and tools made it very difficult to develop an in-house model, so the company turned to a tried-and-tested, fully developed design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
