DAF have a market share around 31% in the UK and are market leader by a long way. All of those vehicles badged as DAF are made at a factory called Leyland Trucks, at Leyland. They are still out there!

[@harovangalen5641]

All vehicles? I work at DAF Trucks N.V. in product development in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Yes, there is a Leyland factory and they build the smaller LF truck and most, not all, right hand drive vehicles. But the production and the development of the 11 and 13 liter engines is done in Eindhoven, most of the chassis and final vehicle assembly and development is done over here. The bigger cabs are developed in the Netherlands and the production of the axles and those cabs (apart from the LF, which is made at Renault) is in Westerlo, Belgium. The smaller chassis (LF and part of the XD) are developed and produced at the Leyland factory. And DAF and Leyland are part of PACCAR, which is a big American company that also produces the Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks. In automotive the are no products that come out of one country. Components are sourced in many countries and unfortunately not often the UK. There is not much left of this in the UK. Even development is outsourced for big parts as it is impossible to have all the knowledge in house. So I work with people from Germany, Belgium, India, Poland, one person from England and you name it. It is global.

[@stevewillcocks1870]

😢Sad times! I was born and bred just 1/2 a mile from the golden hill factory in the 60's. My father worked there for years before his department closed and moved to moss side. As kids we would go up the road to the sales building asking for the sales brochures and name plaques off the cabs. That iconic Leyland blue that all the L vehicles were painted in and not forgetting all the iron fencing (still visible on goldehill lane). What a blast to watch. Thankyou.

ASHOK LEYLAND is doing very well in Bharath. With the Ministry of Defence being their major customers and they have developed multi utility vehicles for the defence. Followed by the Defence are the various state road corporations for whom they produce specialised bus chassis and also for the private bus operators, and also many types of small payload and heavy duty trucks for civilian transportation. The plant in Hosur produces 'Stationary Diesel Engines' for the purpose of Diesel Generators (DGs) and is the fore most DGs in the market and are ahead of Cummins DGs. Without doubt ASHOK LEYLAND is doing wonderfully well.

[@BlackSeaRC]

One of the most famous and respected names within the Leyland trucks group was Scammell. It was founded in 1921 and was acquired by Leyland in 1955. It was well known world-wide for its heavy haulage vehicles and carried on the tradition of building some of the British army's best military vehicles. When Leyland was acquired by DAF in 1988, the rights to the Commander vehicle were sold to the Unipower company. It continued production in a factory in Watford and supported Scammell products in service. Unipower continued to build heavy haulage and military vehicles such as the C-Series. The company was acquired by Alvis in 1994 and renamed Alvis Unipower. In 1999, Alvis decided to concentrate on its core business of tracked armoured vehicles and closed the truck factory in Watford. When Alvis Vickers was acquired by BAE Systems in 2004, the design rights to the range of specialist all-wheel drive vehicles were transferred to BAE but unfortunately, the products have never been resurrected.

[@VKP-i5i]

[@whynotagain3639]

Then a really badly built estate of flats were built on the Scammell factory site, so badly built they'll need pulling down in 10 years.

[@Rammstein56]

And to think that DAF started truck production by using Leyland engines which they kept on developing for decades, a bit like Datsun, the 120Y had an engine which was an Austin copy but ran smooth as silk and never missed a beat.

[@jolibethrodriguez7471]

Here somebody from Uruguay, the last non-Commonwealth country where Leyland held significant market torught the truck and bus sectors, mainly the latter Leyland buses were loved by our capital's Montevideo's buggest bus service operator service, Cutcsa who trought years starting in the late 40s bought both many bare chassis from the Royal Tiger and Worldmaster series and integral units including the famous Olympic EL40.0, EL44.2, EL44.3 (but with front and behind of the previous less glass-y model) and one EL44.5, an Albion Panther chassis and a Super Viking chassis Cutcsa even bought Tamley SA, Leyland's importator to keep adquiring chassis into the early 80s even if then Leyland only choice was the front engined AEC Ranger with very old mechanics But latter Leyland and Cutcsa co-desgined the rear-engined B82 chassis poqered by an adapted Leyland 411 engine Well, Cutcsa was the most prolifilc cliebt but many other operators trought Uruguay had them including intercity operators Copsa, Codet and the dissapeared Cocsl, road operators COT, Cita and the dissapeared main road operator of the country ONDA but even then Cutcsa was not the only operator in Montevideo's urban system with municipal operator Amdet adquiring both Olympic EL44.0 and 200 EL44.3 in 1963, these latter where separated into the original fleets of AMDET private sucesors (and worker cooperatives) Cotsur, Raincoop and 10 for the new trolleybus Cooptrol as a backup fleet while another 53 were sent to pre-existent worker cooperative UCOT while the last few dozen units were used by the Montevideo's Goverment for things like transporting bands By the mid 1990s the mayority of these buses had been succedes by new Brazilian or more unusually Argentinian built units (many of the partially finished locally), who now have been suceded by newer brazilian or chinese buses But in the hearts of the old guard of Uruguayan bu fanatics, the ones who now are passing the torch to my generation the Leyland are the most memorable machines in the story of our buses

I live around the corner from where the old factory used to be. As kids we used to ride motor bikes on the old leyland test track. The transport museum in leyland is well worth a visit. The V8 scania use was a leyland engine. Leyland sold it to scania i was told. The road leading to the old factory is called centurion way, named after the tank.

[@ChrisHarding-lk3jj]

The V8 Scania engine is actually based on the Mack V8 which started production in 1962 as the end864. Mack and Scania were exchanging technology and Mack was casting blocks for Scania. The main difference between the Mack v8 and the Scania V8 is that Scania chose individual cylinder heads for each cylinder and Mack went with 2 cylinder heads per side.

I started as an apprentice at leyland motors leyland in 1969 at the age of 15 and at that time 15 thousand people worked there and I have to say they where the best years of my life. The 600 & 400 engine was by far the best on the market. And then some smart arse in the development dept came up with the fixed head 500 engine Leyland motors spent millions & millions on a lovely new factory at spurrier leyland with millions spent on re tooling WHAT a disaster the engines where being fitted to all leyland trucks and national buses single decker at that particular time I was working at the repair shop at chorley lancs probably 1973 . And within a month of me being there leyland motors had to rent farmers fields to park all the broken down trucks 🚚 there where hundreds & hundreds field after field being rented to park more trucks it was a financial disaster. I left leyland motors in 1982 two years later it was practically dead. The moral of this TRUE story is if you have a good engine stick with it. Ie DAF bought the 600 engine and fitted it in the old daf truck back in 1970 and still use virtually the same engine today RIP leyland motors best years of my life 🙏

Incorrect facts. Leyland trucks couldn’t have been supplied to the Royal Air Force during the First World War (2:55) because the RAF did not exist before April 1918.

[@andrewforman7294]

Think it was the merger with the car industry that cost Leyland Trucks, sure i read many years ago money was taken to shore up the car side. I liked my Freighter, it was a good wagon to drive but management wouldn't or couldn't listen to the drivers feed back. When i got a Scania i couldn't believe how driver friendly it was, Volvo later too.

[@DaimlerSleeveValve]

Sloppy research around the Great War period. It was the ARMY who were the purchasers of Leylands. The RAF didn't exist before 1918, and most of their transport would have been inherited from the Royal Flying Corps. At the end of the Great War Leyland bought back a whole load of their now surplus lorries (quite cheaply, I'm sure) and refurbished them to supply the growing haulage market. These second-hand vehicles were very reliable and made Leyland's name. The video editing seems a little odd, with the inter-war period being illustrated by pictures of vehicles from the 1970s. The animal names were used back in the 1920s and 1930s, but an M-reg Bison and an N-reg Buffalo just jar there.

[@darkredvan]

In Germany British Leyland in it‘s later days had a very bad reputation, especially in the 1970‘s. Their passenger cars - with very few exceptions - had very low sales due to their bad quality. British Leyland even got a derogatory nickname that rhymed - Britisch Elend - which means British Misery. The only model selling in significant numbers was the Mini, though some (few) Jaguars and Triumphs could be spotted on German roads. At least from mid-1970‘s on other models‘ market share was nearly nil.

[@Thecrazyvaclav]

That was the cars, the buses and trucks were well made and very reliable

[@darkredvan]

@@Thecrazyvaclav Personally I have not seen any Leyland bus or truck in Germany other than the British Army ones. I doubt there were any civilian trucks and buses even imported.

Leyland was big in the British Commonwealth. With the decline of the Empire, coupled with the poor quality of BL products, the decline of Leyland was inescapable. However even in its heyday you hardly ever spotted a Leyland truck on the European continent. Leyland no doubt was an icon in the UK and perhaps in the Commonwealth, it never was an icon in the international truck market. Certainly not after WW II.

[@davinnicode]
