Vehicle and Equipment Manufacturers

Albion Motors was a Scottish car and commercial vehicle maker founded in Glasgow in 1899 by Thomas Blackwood Murray and Norman Osborne Fulton, which moved to its Scotstoun works in 1903. Leyland Motors bought it in 1951, and it passed into British Leyland in 1968. The Chieftain, Clydesdale and Reiver trucks and the Viking bus continued to be built until British Leyland dropped the Albion name in 1972, and vehicle production at the Scotstoun factory ended in 1980.
