Foden Trucks' origins date back to 1856 when Edwin Foden began his career with a small engineering company near Sandbach in Cheshire that would become Foden Trucks, in 2006 celebrating 150 years of its enviable history. The Foden name became synonymous with a reputation for quality engineering and played a key role in the evolution of commercial road transport both in the UK and around the world through the steam era, into the diesel age up to the present day.
