Take a piece of British vehicle history along on your travels with this Associated Equipment Company passport cover. AEC’s story began with London bus production and later spanned coaches, lorries and military vehicles, with its name connected to factories at Walthamstow and Southall. Overseas, the ACLO name carried the company story into several markets. A thoughtful travel accessory for transport collectors and anyone drawn to the history of British manufacturing and international connections.
Associated Equipment Company was a British manufacturer of buses, motorcoaches and trucks from 1912 to 1979, usually trading under the AEC name and, in some overseas markets, ACLO. Its roots lay in the London General Omnibus Company, which began building motor buses in 1909 at Blackhorse Lane, Walthamstow. After the Underground Group took over LGOC in 1912, the bus manufacturing operation became AEC. During the First World War, AEC supplied large numbers of military lorries, including more than 10,000 Y-type vehicles. Production moved from Walthamstow to Southall in 1927. AEC and English Electric made trolleybuses from 1931 to 1938, and wartime output included Matador artillery tractors and other military vehicles. In 1948, AEC acquired Crossley Motors and Maudslay and established Associated Commercial Vehicles as a holding company. ACV acquired Park Royal Vehicles in 1949 and Thornycroft in 1961. Leyland Motors acquired ACV in 1962. The AEC name disappeared from commercial vehicles in 1977; production at Southall ended in 1979, when remaining vehicle production moved to other Leyland plants.
