Overview

The Ford Transit is a family of light commercial vehicles manufactured by the Ford Motor Company since 1965. It primarily serves as a cargo van but also comes in various configurations such as passenger vans (Ford Tourneo), minibuses, cutaway chassis, and pickup trucks. The vehicle has been produced across four basic platform generations introduced in 1965, 1986, 2000, and 2013 respectively, with numerous facelifts and upgrades over the years. In North America, it replaced the Ford E-Series van starting from 2015.
