Catalogue information
In 1905, Commercial Cars Ltd. was founded in London. Established. At the end of 1905, the first 4-ton truck with iron wheels came off the production line. In 1906 the company moved to Luton where the production of a 3 tonne truck with 32 hp side valve petrol engine and chain drive was started. This concerned the RC type under the brand name COMMER. The RC series became available in the following years with a payload of 1 to 7 tons. In 1911 a bus with a 90 hp petrol engine based on the RC came into production. The Commers were not only sold in England but were also exported. Sales successes were achieved particularly in the US between 1911 and 1913. In 1976, the Commer brand name was permanently replaced by Dodge in support of Chrysler's marketing philosophy. The Commer name disappeared, but the Walk Thru model remained in production until 1979.
