Notable Commercial Vehicle Manufacturers in Britain

Most motor manufacturers produced ‘commercial’ versions of their motor cars, usually a simple van body with everything from the drivers dashboard forward similar to the parent motor car. When talking about larger vehicles however things get rather more complicated as most heavy commercial vehicle firms concentrated on building the chassis (an in some cases the engine), the body then being added elsewhere by a separate firm. This makes sense when you consider the range of bodies that might be required, from tipping trucks to large vans. It would be impractical for a small manufacturer to offer these specialised body types on their chassis when they might only sell a small number of that type.
