Ford Commercial Vehicles

When buying a commercial vehicle, Ford is one of the brands quickly considered, and that’s not surprising. Ford has built an outstanding reputation over the years when it comes to commercial vehicles. Ford commercial vehicles owe this reputation in part to the success of the Ford Transit. This good reputation places Ford in the top five largest automakers.

The history of Ford Transit commercial vehicles

Launched in 1965, the Transit overwhelmed the competition with its enormous payload. This was demonstrated with the first generation of the Transit by seeing how many adults could fit inside. In total, these were 48 adults. What also made the Transit popular was the choice, which was vast: Transit pickup, Transit minivan, Transit cab van and specially equipped Transit for construction panels. The latter made the Ford very popular in the construction industry. Transit produced for passenger transport has had its name changed from Transit to Tourneo. There are now eight generations of Ford Transit commercial vehicles. The Ford Transit is the third best-selling commercial vehicle worldwide with a total production of more than 8 million vehicles. Not surprisingly, these commercial vehicles have won multiple awards. A selection of these awards are: Work Bus of the Year (2001, 2007, 2013 and 2014). These awards were won by both the Ford Transit and the Ford Connect. Besides construction, transit was also very popular with bank robbers in the 1970s. Because of its payload and engine power, transit was chosen in 95% of all robberies. By now, the Ford Transit has become indispensable on the streets. Maybe they all look the same but one transit is not the other! Where Ford got big with diversity in the 1960s, it is no different today. When you purchase a new transit, you customize it completely to your liking.

Ford Transit Custom Commercial Vehicles

These personalizations are also seen in the Ford commercial vehicle occasion market. These adjustments are called Custom. From the factory, you choose from 3 sizes. The maximum payload of a transit is 15.1 cubic meters, with a maximum length of 4 meters. A total of 2.1 tons can be loaded. This allows you to completely master even the biggest job. These different sizes are also available on the occasion market. Not only is there a difference in the size of the car, there are also options for the doors. The various options for this include sliding side doors, a tailgate or rear doors. If the rear doors are in the way, fold them open to 270 degrees. This allows you to load everything in the back with ease. To get even easier into your Transit, some are equipped with a step edge. Built-in tie-down eyelets tension your load so it won’t slide. Because the Transit is so diverse, not all Transits are used as commercial vehicles. Many of these cars are being converted into RVs! There is even an XXL Transit Limousine and Transit drift van equipped with a V8.

Equipped with proven powertrain

In addition to all the different options, the engine and powertrain are the same for many of these cars. However, the engine and powertrain are well proven. This applies to both gasoline and diesel variants. Many older variants have already driven 3 tons. This is due to the robust design of these components. The new 2.0 EcoBlue engine has also already been thoroughly tested. For these tests, 5.5 million kilometers were covered in various conditions. This test revealed a 13% reduction in fuel consumption. These new engines are not only robust, but also economical!

The Connect is often built as a van, making it more suitable for business owners who need to be in busy shopping streets or other city centers. This Ford commercial vehicle has also won multiple awards as work van of the year.
