Seddon Atkinson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Early 1970s Seddon Atkinson (this model "inherited" from Atkinson)

Seddon Atkinson was a manufacturer of Large Goods Vehicles based in Oldham, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. It is now wholly owned by IVECO who have continued to use the brand for certain specialised vehicles in the UK.

The model ranges produced are EuroMover, Pacer and Strato, aimed at refuse collection, recycling and construction operators.

Seddon Atkinson was formed in 1970 after Atkinson Vehicles Ltd was acquired by Seddon Diesel Vehicles Ltd. It was subsequently bought by American International Harvester, and later by Spanish Enasa. It is now wholly owned by IVECO.

The range is sold across the UK by a network of 13 distributors, comprising a mix of dedicated Seddon Atkinson dealers together with dealers who also sell IVECO models.

Recent Seddon Atkinson vehicles are readily identifiable from other IVECO products because of the company's logo, a large A within a circle, usually in chrome (or chrome-effect) on the radiator grille.
