History

 

 

 Guðmundur Tyrfingsson Ltd. is a family owned and managed business, based in Selfoss, South Iceland. The company was founded in 1969 and in the same year the first coach built by the staff was driving down the street. Guðmundur Laugdal Jónsson, who is a trained car builder, joined the group as well. Since the beginning he has been the head builder of the company and supervised the blueprints and design with Guðmundur Tyrfingsson.

 
Guðmundur Tyrfingsson Ltd has been a leader in environmental, safety and quality issues. G.T. is the first company in the transport business to formulate an environmental policy that has been used as a guideline in the company management. As a result, G.T. received both the Icelandic Tourist Board’s environmental award in 2002 and the Beluga environmental certification.
 
Almost all of the coaches at Guðmundur Tyrfingsson Ltd are built in Iceland by the staff of the daughter company, Tyrfingsson Ltd.
The first coach was built in 1969 and since then around 30 coaches have been built from scratch.  In addition, many smaller vehicles (20 passengers or less) have been changed into coaches. Initially, Guðmundur Tyrfingsson and Guðmundur Laugdal Jónsson were building the coaches by themselves in a Nissen hut in Hrísmýri in Selfoss. They built many coaches there, including one 62 passenger coach in 1987. A new facility was built in 1992 at Fossnes C, Selfoss, for the coach building and maintenance. The same year, Tyrfingsson Ltd was founded to take care of the design, building and maintenance of all the coaches for Guðmundur Tyrfingsson Ltd.
 
In the year 2005 G. Tyrfingsson started co-operation with the Yutong Group and together they started Yutong Eurobus.
 
It is a strong recommendation of the status of G.Tyrfingsson in the industry that Yutong have chosen us as their partner in the venture of selling their machinery on the European market.
 
All measures that have followed the G. Tyrfingsson busses have been added to the production line in China and will show as a state of the art busses that will suite splendidly on the European market.
