Ford Transit
Here you will find monthly and yearly Canadian, European, Chinese and U.S. sales figures for the Ford Transit van, an E-Series replacement. The Ford Transit is a light commercial vehicle (LCV) that was first introduced in 1965. It is currently in its fourth generation and is sold in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Ford Transit Overview
The Ford Transit is a range of light commercial vehicles produced by Ford since 1965. Over the years, the Transit name has been associated with a variety of vans, minibuses, and pickup trucks. The Transit has become synonymous with the van segment in many countries, particularly in Europe, and has become a cultural icon in its own right, especially in the UK.
The Ford Transit was introduced in 1965, replacing the Ford Thames 400E. It was developed under the “Project Redcap” and was initially produced in Ford’s Langley facility in Berkshire, England. One of the main selling points of the Transit is its versatility. It’s available in a range of body styles, including panel vans, minibuses, chassis cabs, and pickup trucks. This has allowed businesses of various kinds to use the Transit tailored to their specific needs.
Since its introduction, the Transit has undergone several generational changes, each time updating its design, technology, safety, and engine options. There’s also the Ford Transit Custom, a smaller version that was introduced in 2012 and targets the mid-sized van segment. Over the years, the Transit has been offered with a wide range of gasoline and diesel engines. Modern versions also see advancements in fuel efficiency and emissions standards, with hybrid and electric variants becoming available.
Ford Transit Sales Figures
While the Transit has its roots in Europe, it’s truly a global vehicle. It’s sold in North America, replacing the Ford E-Series in the mid-2010s, and has versions tailored for markets in Asia and other parts of the world. Particularly in the UK, the Transit has made a significant cultural impact. The term “white van man” has been used in British culture to describe drivers of white Ford Transits, often self-employed or owning a small business. The Transit competes with a range of other commercial vehicles depending on the market, including the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Volkswagen Transporter, and Renault Master, among others.
