Güleryüz

Güleryüz Karoseri Otomotiv Sanayi ve Tic. A.Ş, better known as Güleryüz, is a Turkish coachbuilder based in Bursa, which started the business by repairing coach bodies in 1967. The workshop run by a father and his three sons turned into a company in 1982.

History

The company maintained its activities by manufacturing bus bodies on different chassis supplied by Mercedes-Benz, MAN, Renault, which were with engines installed on rear overhangs. At that time, such buses were manufactured for the needs of different state-owned organizations and private companies, as well as the armed forces.

In 1991, the company started the production of double decker buses, using chassises supplied by Volvo and DAF. In 1993, manufacture of luxury coaches on 12- or 15 m-long chassis of Volvo and DAF began, and these coaches were exported to Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Jordan.

At the beginning of 1999, the management of Güleryüz decided to continue with manufacturing of buses under company's own brand, and in 2000, the production of Cobra buses with own brand and accumulated own assets started, recording significant success in very short time. As of December 2007, the brand has established itself among the leading competitors for the inner city transportation in Turkey.

In April 2006, management of Güleryüz decided to expand production capacity, investing in a new facility covering a total area of 61.000 m², of which 28.000 m² makes indoor space, where serial production has started in July 2007.

"Güleryüz" (Turkish) means "Smiling Face" in English, which makes an amusing naming of their major model as: "Smiling Face Cobra."

gollark: Am I better at resisting peer pressure than other people: well, I'd *like* to think so, but so would probably everyone else ever.
gollark: Anyway, I have, I think, reasonably strong "no genocide" ethics. But I don't know if, in a situation where everyone seemed implicitly/explicitly okay with helping with genocides, and where I feared that I would be punished if I either didn't help in some way or didn't appear supportive of helping, I would actually stick to this, since I don't think I've ever been in an environment with those sorts of pressures.
gollark: Maybe I should try arbitrarily increasing the confusion via recursion.
gollark: If people are randomly assigned (after initial mental development and such) to an environment where they're much more likely to do bad things, and one where they aren't, then it seems unreasonable to call people who are otherwise the same worse from being in the likely-to-do-bad-things environment.I suppose you could argue that how "good" you are is more about the change in probability between environments/the probability of a given real world environment being one which causes you to do bad things. But we can't check those with current technology.
gollark: I think you can think about it from a "veil of ignorance" angle too.
