AEC was a United Kingdom based vehicle manufacturer which built buses, motorcoaches and lorries from 1912 until 1979. The acronym stood for the Associated Equipment Company, but this name was hardly ever used; instead it traded under the AEC and ACLO brands.
While famously associated with London's Routemaster buses, AEC supplied commercial vehicles to many companies both domestically and around the world.

And we know how ridiculous that would seem.” ... Convention and habit are women’s enemies here, and reason their ally.”
