Industrials

Bristol Commercial Vehicles was a vehicle manufacturer located in Bristol, England, whose production was mostly of buses, although trucks and railbus chassis were also built. The Bristol Tramways and Carriage Company started to build buses for its own use in 1908 and soon began building vehicles for other companies. In 1955 this part of the business was separated out as Bristol Commercial Vehicles Limited, which later came under the ownership of Leyland. The company closed in 1983, when production was moved to its then parent company, Leyland.
