The Bedford World Van was a project created by General Motors to replace the Bedford CF vans that were getting very outdated by that time.
History
In 1982 Bedford Vehicles was separated from Vauxhall Motors and became a part of the GMC Truck & Coach Division to make the brand more independent. and "resurrect" the "world van" project, however, these plans came to nothing by 1986, due to economic problems causing the divesting of the company into IBC Vehicles and AWD Trucks. After that the project was fully abandoned, with the Midi being chosen as the replacement for the CF vans, while a version of the Isuzu Faster produced under license as the Bedford/Vauxhall Brava was built as a replacement for the CF pickups, resulting in the Bedford name eventually dropped in 1995, with the Vauxhall name applied to both passenger cars and commercial vehicles, and Vauxhall made another joint venture with Renault to produce the Renault Trafic and Renault Master vans, as the Vauxhall Vivaro and the Vauxhall Movano vehicles. The Arena replaced the Midi, but eventually the Arena model was renamed the Vivaro model.
Various other concepts were made such as heavy-duty trucks and medium-duty trucks that were intended to compete with other manufacturer's products such as Mercedes-Benz, and replace the Bedford TL and Bedford TM ranges.
The design for the Bedford TM replacement along with the vehicle's tooling was sold to a Chinese manufacturer called the First Tractor company, that used the design to create the YTO 408 (also known as the Luoyang LT) truck.
