Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox automobile The Bedford OY is an army lorry (truckШаблон:Efn) built by Bedford for the British Armed Forces and introduced in 1939. It was based on Bedford's O-series commercial vehicles with a modified front end and single rear tyres. It was designed for a 3-ton payload. The OYD was a general service vehicle,[1] while the OYC was a tanker version for carrying water or petrol.[1] These vehicles were widely used during, and after, World War II but were later superseded by the Bedford RL.

The OX was a short-wheelbase version of the OY, designed for a 30 cwt (1.5 ton) payload. It had a semi-forward cab that resembled the 15-cwt Bedford MW.[2]

The OXD was a general service vehicle with a Шаблон:Convert by Шаблон:Convert by Шаблон:Convert tall body, while the OXC was designed, in association with Scammell,[3] for use with a semi-trailer.[4]

In the early part of the war, the addition of an armoured body to the OXD gave the Bedford OXA (official designation "Lorry 30cwt Anti-Tank"). These were used for home defence.
