Diesel filler cap on the Scammell truck used by the Bate fruit and veg company in Warrington
Scammell truck, also used by the Bate fruit and veg company in Warrington Scammell Lorries Limited was a British manufacturer of trucks, particularly specialist and military off-highway vehicles, from 1921 to 1988. Scammell is, arguably, the greatest name in British commercial road transport. The Scammell heritage began in the Victorian era, when the wheelwright, George Scammell of Fashion Street, Spitalfields, in the East End of London, developed his business. Later named G Scammell and Nephew, they were involved in the building and repair of craftsman-built carts and vans. In the early 1900s a substantial business had been built up selling and maintaining Foden Steam Wagons and small trucks. One of the firms customers, the haulier Edward Rudd, had imported a Knox Tractor from America and was so impressed with its high payload/low weight potential that it is believed he suggested to Scammell and Nephew that they build a similar vehicle for the UK.
