Ford Transit®—America’s iconic No. 1 bestselling commercial van—celebrates a decade in-market and its 10th year of U.S. production and sales with enhancements to E-Transit™ range and new charging, software and integrated solutions, helping to ease the transition to electric and maximize benefits for commercial customers.
Ford brought the phenomenon stateside a decade ago, where it continued to tower over the competition. After just six months in production, Transit became America’s bestselling commercial van in late 2014 and outsold every other van in America, including minivans, before the end of 2016.
Since beginning U.S. production in April 2014, more than 1.2 million Transit vans have been assembled at the Kansas City Assembly Plant in Claycomo, Missouri. And 99% of all Transit vans sold in the past 10 years are still on the road.
Ford Transit History: A Legacy of Hard-Working Versatility
Transit has provided customers with the power of choice across cargo, cutaway, chassis cab and passenger variants. It has served nearly 280,000 companies and customers in 76 different industries—and has been the vehicle of choice in the numerous categories:
- Utility Services
- Food Distribution
- Emergency Vehicles
- Beverage Distribution
- Lease/Rental
- Services
- Manufacturing
- Government
- Construction
- Wholesale/Retail
Enhancing Range to Reach Even More Industries E-Transit has quickly become the electric van of choice in America, Canada, and Europe, thanks to its versatility. E-Transit, America’s bestselling electric van, has saved customers more than 3 million gallons of gas and over 25 million kg of CO2 output since joining the Transit family in 2022. According to the EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator, that’s the same as planting 413,377 tree seedlings and letting them grow for 10 years.
