The Standard Atlas is a light van which was produced and sold under various names between 1958 and 1980, initially in Britain and Europe, and subsequently in India.

[2] In 1958 Standard presented the Atlas, their contender in the growing but (in Britain) increasingly crowded small van sector.

It was a competitor for BMCs venerable J-Type and the much more modern Morris J2, as well as for the Ford Thames 400E, Commer FC and the market leading Bedford CA.

These heavier-duty models were provided with the Standard 2,138 cc (130.5 cu in) petrol engine that also powered the Triumph TR4.

In 1968, Leyland merged with the British Motor Corporation to form the British Leyland Motor Corporation, and the van was taken out of production in order to avoid direct competition with a range of vans such as the Morris JU 250, now produced by the same company.
