Established in April 1931 and constructing commercial vehicles, Bedford Vehicles was a leading international lorry brand, with substantial export sales of light, medium, and heavy lorries throughout the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBedford's core heavy trucks business was divested by GM as AWD Trucks in 1987, whilst the Bedford brand continued to be used on light commercial vehicles and car-derived vans based on Vauxhall\/Opel, Isuzu and Suzuki designs. The brand was retired in 1991.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bedford TK range was produced in large numbers since 1959, and served as the basis for a variety of derivatives including fire engines, military vehicles, horse-boxes, tippers, flat-bed trucks, and other spe\u003cimg\u003ecialist utility vehicles. A Post Office Telephones version used for installing telegraph poles was known as the Pole Erection Unit.
