The official reason why Paccar discontinued the Foden marque is because it needed more space for DAF-badged models at the UK factory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foden Seddon Atkinson still exists as a brand of Iveco for refuse and construction lorries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seddon_Atkinson My local council has some new Seddon Atkinson refuse lorries. ERF still exists as a brand of MAN: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ERF_%28lorry_manufacturer%29 I suppose that these names have continued because they still have loyal buyers in Britain, even though they're just different badges attached to the parent company's products. Dennis is still around, making fire engines and bus chassis. Its refuse lorries business became a separate company, Dennis Eagle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Specialist_Vehicles
