Karrier was a British marque of motorised municipal appliances, light commercial vehicles and trolleybuses, built at Karrier Works in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, by Clayton and Company. Karrier motor vehicles were first made in 1908, and in 1920 the Huddersfield business was sold to a new public company, Karrier Motors Limited. The marque also produced buses and, during the Second World War, trolleybuses such as the Karrier W. In 1934 Karrier became part of the Rootes Group, keeping its own identity but operated with Commer commercial vehicles. After Chrysler bought Rootes in 1967 the Karrier name began to disappear from products, and it was finally dropped in the early 1970s.
