The Grocery Series Box Design
The Grocery Series was introduced in 1997, and focuses on trucks used by some of the Britain's leading grocery suppliers and supermarket Chains.
This range along with the Brewery Series was introduced around the same time that the main truck range gained it's own distinctive 'Commercial' packaging. This re-branding was designed to give the trucks a much higher profile within the bus and coach dominated model range.
All the models in this range bar two have been based on the Bedford TK the two exceptions being Atkinson and Ergomatic trucks. All the models so far have had box van bodies or trailers. The original AEC Mammoth Major truck has never featured in the range, although a variety of grocery related models had been issued before the initiation of this series.
All the models have been issued in the cream and brown 'Grocery Series' boxes. To identify the models issued in this series I've added the suffix code 'GY' to their catalogue numbers. Please note this unofficial code does not appear on the actual EFE Packaging.
Only 8 models have so far been released in the series and these all appeared during 1997. It is currently unclear whether this range will see any further additions.
