The AEC 0853 Matador was a heavy-duty truck produced by the Associated Equipment Company (AEC) in the United Kingdom from 1938 to 1953. It was mainly used by the British Army as an artillery tractor, capable of towing medium and heavy guns. The Matador had a distinctive flat-fronted cab with a bonnet and a four-wheel drive system. The Matador was powered by a 7.7-litre diesel engine that delivered 95 horsepower.
The Matador could carry a crew of six and had a maximum speed of 40 mph. The Matador was also used for other purposes, such as a recovery vehicle, a mobile crane, a fire engine, and a timber transporter. The Matador was widely exported to other countries, such as Canada, Australia, India, and South Africa. The Matador was praised for its reliability, versatility, and off-road performance. The Matador was retired from service in the 1960s and replaced by more modern vehicles.
