Historical information

The first Bedford trucks were built in 1931 in the Vauxhall factory at Luton, Bedfordshire, England when General Motors decided to build a British version of the American Chevrolet range. Bedford trucks were exported and knocked down from Britain and constructed in Australia by GM-H. Bedford rapidly dominated the truck and van market in Australia with new sales approaching a 50% market share. In 1975 the GM German Opel range was deleted in favour of the British designed Bedfords. In the 1970's GM truck sales were under threat by the more advanced Japanese technology and small van markets. In 1972 GM negotiated a 1/3 purchase of Isuzu in Japan to source their technological know how and incorporated it in vehicles with the Bedford name. In late 1987 GMC sold its Bedford interest and the vehicles were no longer built in Australia and GM trucks in Australia came under the Isuzu name. The Bedford name had virtually disappeared by the mid 1990's.
