Ford won a host of awards at the recent Fleet World awards, including the Van Manufacturer of the year awards and the Security award.

The new Transit was chosen as Best New Van against stiff competition, and its security features were praised too – a significant factor for many van users.

All of this means that the Transit will undoubtedly continue to be a favourite with fleet buyers and a popular choice for van rental fleets.

Volkswagen’s new Crafter won the award for Best Large Van, and the Renault Traffic/Nissan Navistar (same vehicle!) won Best Medium Van for the fifth year running.
