Bedford
Bedford was one of the great brands in the era when British trucks dominated the New Zealand trucking landscape, and helped build the nation we enjoy today.
The story of this brand’s demise ran parallel to its other British stablemates, but the mark they left in our trucking history will never be forgotten.
Here are a few images of some of the many and varied applications Bedford found itself performing around New Zealand over many decades.
