Leyland Trucks is a medium- and heavy-duty truck manufacturer based in Leyland, Lancashire, United Kingdom.
It can trace its origins back to the original Leyland Motors, which was founded in 1896, and subsequently evolved into British Leyland.
After DAF NV was placed in administration in 1993, Leyland DAF was purchased in a management buyout and rebranded Leyland Trucks.
Upon the restructuring of BL's successor company, Rover Group, the truck-making division was divested by way of a merger with DAF Trucks in 1987 to form Leyland DAF, under the ownership of DAF NV.
[1] When DAF NV was placed in administration in February 1993, Leyland Trucks emerged as an independent company.
