The Foden brothers made steam powered lorries during the 1910s and 1920s. Edwin Robert Foden split to form his own company ERF to manufacture diesel trucks. Eventually the original firm had to follow suit - in 1931 - with the diesel type R.
1996: ERF bought by Western Star which is now Australian controlled (1991...).
2000: Man (de) acquires ERF from Western Star.
