History: The Bedford OYD was one of the most important British military trucks of the Second World War, forming the backbone of the Army’s logistics and transport capability. Produced in large numbers, the OYD was used to move troops, supplies, fuel, and equipment across all theatres of the war. Its simple, robust design and reliable mechanical layout made it well suited to harsh operating conditions, from the deserts of North Africa to the muddy roads of North West Europe. Often overlooked in favour of armoured vehicles, the Bedford OYD played a crucial role in keeping frontline units supplied and mobile throughout the conflict.
