Bedford was a subsidiary of Vauxhall Motors, itself the British subsidiary of General Motors, established in 1930 and constructing commercial vehicles.

In 1986 the Bedford van factory in Luton was reorganised as a joint venture with Isuzu. The resulting company IBC Vehicles produced a European version of the Isuzu MU Wizard called the Frontera and a range of Renault designed vans sold under GM's Vauxhall and Opel brand name. On vans the Bedford name was discontinued in 1990 in favour of Vauxhall.

The Bedford trucks site was sold to David Brown in 1987 and the new trucks business was named AWD Trucks. AWD Trucks went bankrupt in 1992 and was bought by Marshall of Cambridge.

In 1998 General Motors bought out Isuzu out of the IBC partnership and moved the Frontera production line to the Ellesmere Port site.
