Leyland Terrier 6-wheeled army truck Terrier served as a basis for developing Retriever.

Overseas Roadtrain that went to the Gold Coast for trials Prototype Leyland built Overseas Roadtrain before it went to Africa.At the 1927 British Colonial Office conference it was determined it would be more cost effective to develop a land tractor or road train than to invest the high costs required to install railways into remote areas of the British Commonwealth. The design specifications for the land tractor were created by the British Overseas Mechanical Transport Committee, for the purpose of transporting supplies to underdeveloped areas of the British Empire. Initially the project was funded by the British and South African governments, although another twenty five Commonwealth counties later contributed finances, including Australia.Only four (some sources state three) AEC Roadtrains were ever produced. The first prototype unit was constructed by Leyland Motors whilst the subsequent units were all built by AEC's wholly owned subsidiary company Hardy Motors. The trailers were all produced by RA Dyson & Co of Liverpool.

Leyland Retriever The Leyland Retriever was seen by many as an updated version of the Terrier. Three different versions were produced (WLW1, WLW2 and 2A, WLW3) differing only in detail. Some 6.500 produced between 1938 and 1941. A armoured version was produced to protect the British airfields, mounting a 20 mm machine gun a light machine guns. The vehicle was known as the "Beaver Eel", and some 250 were produced. Other British producers of 3-ton 6 x 4 chassis were AEC, Albion, Austin, Crossley, Ford Guy, Karrier, Leyland and Thornycroft. All were supplied with several body types, including GS cargo, bridging, workshop, machinery body, searchlight mount, gun mount, derrick, crane, etc.

Designed as a heavy load carrier, the Leyland Hippo 6x4 10-ton truck entered military service in 1944 and eventually proved its worth hauling supplies during the closing stages of the Allied advance across North West Europe. The huge bodies on these trucks had a well-type floor incorporating the wheel arches, this giving a lower loading height, an important element in the war days as fork-lift trucks were few and much loading was accomplished by hand. Steel hoops and a canvas tilt gave weather protection to the stores carried, The Hippo Mk 1 initial version was based on a pre-war commercial type with an open cab with canvas tilt and fixed windscreen, while the Hippo Mk 2 had an all-steel cab, The Hippo Mk 2 had single rear wheels, whilst the Hippo Mk 2A had dual wheels fitted with 10- 50-22 tyres, The difficulty experienced with the Mk 2A was the need to carry two spare wheels, one for the front and one for the rear, It is perhaps quite amazing to see these trucks still in service in the 1980s

Leyland Comet 4x4 Весьма важным в современной истории британского автомобилестроения считается возобновление производства моделей грузовых автомобилей Leyland, разработанных в 80-е годы. Машины выпускаются на заводе в Лейланде параллельно с автомобилями Leyland-DAF. Они не конкурируют с продукцией других европейских изготовителей и рассчитаны только на продажу в Великобритании и на экспорт в бывшие английские колонии. Новая гамма получила название Comet в память о самой известной марке грузовиков Leyland. В нее входят двухосные исполнения Comet (4x2 и 4x4) и трехосные SuperComet полной массой от 12 до 24 т.

Leyland Super Comet "Лейланд" в 60-е г прозводила AWD автомобили также с помощью сторонней фирмы All Wheel Drive Company , основанной в 1955 г.А. Дж. Эндрюсом (A. J. Andrews), бывшим сотрудником моторостроительной компании "Гарднер" (Gardner), преобразовывая обычные коммерческие грузовики "Лейланд" в полноприводные.

Leyland DAF 4x4 В июне 1989 года четырехтонный грузовик Leyland DAF T244 был выбран в качестве основы для следующего поколения используемых грузовиков в Британской армии. В конструкции грузовика в основном использовались узлы и агрегаты от грузовиков Bedford и Volvo. В производство грузовик Т244 вошел в 1990 году с буквами GS в конце маркировки, и уже в том же году от Британской армии поступил заказ на 5350 таких автомобилей. Грузовик Leyland DAF T244 GS должен был заменить на то время основной среднетоннажный армейский грузовик Bedford M, но хотя эту реформу и провели, до сих пор в армейских рядах осталось довольно много грузовиков Bedford, из-за их простоты и надежности в ремонте. Грузовик получил постоянный полный привод на все четыре колеса, бескапотную компоновку кабины для водителя и двух членов экипажа и спальным местом, и как это заведено с люком в крыше для пулеметчика. В дизайн кабины грузовика за основу была взята кабина от коммерческого грузовика Leyland Roadrunner C44, и была с легка переоборудована для удобства просмотра дороги с места водителя при погрузке автомобиля в другое транспортное средство, например самолет. Каждый компонент грузовика перед его установкой проходил тщательно тестировался, в такую систему попали и ведущие мосты специально разработанные на заводе Leyland Albion в Glasgow.

Leyland DAF 8 axle Two developments by the parent company, Leyland Motors, at the end of the 1970s benefited Scammell . Leyland wished to develop two new heavy vehicle ranges, the overseas bonneted Landtrain and the UK forward control Roadtrain which would feature the new C40 tilt cab. In view of Scammell’s expertise the firm was tasked with development of the Landtrain and was able to use the same cab and bonnet for the replacement for the Contractor. This range, the S24, was available in 6x4 and 6x6 formats, with manual, automatic or torque converter/manual transmissions and a newly-developed transfer gearbox for 6x6 versions. The full weight range from 40 tonnes GVW to more than 200 tonnes GTW was covered, with the Cummins NT 350 or 400 engine, but the difficulty of providing a replacement for the Contractor’s coachbuilt cab was dealt with by specifying an American-type crew ‘pod’ behind the cab. To replace the Super Constructor oilfield flatbed vehicle a long-wheelbase S24 6x6 with the Constructor winch and body was produced. Knowing Scammell’s pre-eminence in the field, Leyland entrusted the eight-wheeler version of the Roadtrain – called the ‘Constructor 8’ - to Scammell. This would at last give Scammell access to a modern tilt cab. To supplement the lower-powered Leyland Roadtrains, Scammell developed the S26 range using the same cab and eventually, as the 1980s progressed, a range of premium 4x2, 6x2 and 6x4 tractors with a full range of engine and transmission options was developed to replace the Crusader and ‘A’ range, with as much similarity with the S24 running gear as possible. A military 6x6 version with Rolls-Royce 350 engine, ZF automatic gearbox and Kirkstall axles followed, and this was offered, in 8x6 form, to the British Army in 1986 for the hooklift-equipped DROPS vehicle requirement. In February 1987 Scammell learned that its tender for 1522 such vehicles was successful - but also that the Leyland group had been purchased by DAF BV of Holland. DAF elected to build the DROPS and selected S26 vehicles at the Leyland plant, and to close the Watford factory Upon closure in July 1988 the S24 and the Nubian ranges, together with rights to the Crusader and Commander , were bought by Unipower Ltd who opened a new plant in West Watford.
