Foden Trucks is a truck manufacturer. Originally formed in 1887 as Edwin Foden Sons & Co Ltd to produce steam lorries. Edwin's son E.R. Foden saw the future lay in diesel power and in 1931 he was thrown out of the boardroom for advocating it, leading him to to form the breakaway ERF. In 1981 Foden was acquired by the American firm PACCAR, and is now a division of that company.
