Motor Traction Limited manufactured Rutland motor lorries at Rutland Works, Vulcan Way, New Addington, England. The lorries, capacities between 3 tons and 15 tons, and passenger chassis were built to an operator's specific requirements using the major components of other manufacturers. They first exhibited at the 1956 Commercial Motor Show.[1]

The business operated from 1951 to 1958, at first from Croydon. An earlier name for the business was Waggon Rutland Limited. Vehicles were often marked MTN.[2]

The shareholders chose to liquidate the company in 1958.[3]
