Rocar (also T.V. or Autobuzul) was a van, bus and trolleybus manufacturer based in Bucharest, Romania.

The company was created in 1951, and the first production lines were made for rolling-stock equipment and agricultural machines.

In 1956 the first bus was built on a truck frame and in 1957 the production program was enlarged also for trolleybuses, mini-buses and pick-ups made after the own design of ROCAR. Beginning with 1968 ROCAR started exporting vehicles in Eastern Europe, Africa, South America and Middle East and, in 1971, it was bought a license from MAN, Germany. After 1990 ROCAR had a cooperation with a body bus company from Italy, De Simon.[1]
