Ford Transit Wins 2013 Trade Van Drive Award

Ford is celebrating its double victory at the 2013 Trade Van Driver (TVD) Awards, with the highly

acclaimed Ford Transit Custom and Ford Ranger pick-up receiving top accolades. The Ford Transit Custom is “Best Medium Van”, hailed by TVD judges as “a quantum leap forward” over the last model. The Transit Custom’s intelligent design, more frugal engine line-up, and introduction of advanced vehicle technologies like SYNC Ford’s in-car connectivity system were all commended.

Ford sales director, Andy Barratt, said: “The awards for Ford’s exciting commercial vehicle range keep on coming. We’re delighted with Transit Custom’s very healthy sales start, contributing to Ford’s overall 21 per cent share of the UK CV market for the year to date. Ranger continues to sell remarkably well having nearly doubled its presence in the pick-up segment to 16.6 per cent so far this year, compared with 2012.” The Ford Transit Custom and new Ford Ranger have won 15 awards between them in the last 12 months which includes the prestigious International Van of the Year 2013.
