The Ford Transit is without doubt one of the most famous and popular commercial vehicles in global motoring history, with a massive 6 million sold since their introduction in 1965, and that number is always climbing. The Transit is a front runner in the van world, being constantly updated and setting the standard for the industry, as well as for Ford’s large range of alternative commercial vehicles.

Their reliability, versatility and adaptability have catapulted Ford’s commercial range into recognition as some of the finest and most customizable working vehicles in the world.

American multinational automobile manufacturer Ford has been a world-wide market leader in the production of affordable, quality motorcars since their foundation on June 16^th, 1903. Ford introduced many methods of large-scale vehicle manufacture and industrial workforce management, such as the assembly line, which started the progression of motor vehicles from a luxury commodity of the wealthy to an affordable family item. By 1914 these production methods were known around the world as Fordism, and they have now maintained their position at the head of the affordable family vehicle market for over a century.

Their modern range of commercial vehicles may have been designed with the job in mind, but can look and feel comfortable, quiet, smooth and safe, in a way you’d more often associate with a car than a commercial vehicle. Just like their family vehicles, their commercial trucks and vans have set standards across the industry and enjoyed being some of the most popular working vehicles on the road worldwide, with the iconic Transit having sold more than 6 million units since their introduction in 1965.
