The Trucks and Bus Company (TBCo or T&BC, Arabic: شاحنات وشركة الحافلات‎) is a Libyan manufacturer of trucks and buses. It was a joint-venture between the Italian Industrial Vehicles Corporation[1] and the Libyan Secretariat of Industry and Mineral Resources.[2]

TBCo was founded in 1976[3] with its head office in Tajura. A second manufacturing plant was opened in Tripoli. In late 2011, the company was closed by the provisional government after the Libyan Civil War.
