Here some history on the ford transit

The Ford Transit is a range of light commercial vehicles produced by Ford since 1965. Originally designed for European markets, the Transit has been produced in various body styles, including vans, minibuses, and pickup trucks.

The first generation of the Transit was introduced in 1965 as a replacement for the Ford Thames 400E. It was initially produced as a panel van, with options for a passenger van and a pickup truck. The Transit quickly became popular in Europe for its versatility and reliability, and it was soon being sold in other markets around the world, including Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.

In the 1970s, Ford introduced the second generation of the Transit, which featured a restyled exterior and a larger interior. This generation also introduced the option of a double cab pickup truck, which expanded the vehicle’s appeal to a wider range of customers.

The third generation of the Transit, which was introduced in 1986, featured a more aerodynamic design and a range of new engine options, including diesel engines. This generation also saw the introduction of the Transit minibus, which was popular with schools and community groups.

The fourth generation of the Transit, which was introduced in 2000, featured a completely new design and a range of new features, including electronic stability control and side airbags. This generation also saw the introduction of the Transit Connect, a smaller version of the Transit designed for urban use.

The fifth generation of the Transit, which was introduced in 2013, featured a completely new design and a range of new features, including a new 2.2-litre diesel engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. The Transit Custom, a mid-size van, was also added to the line-up.

The latest, sixth generation of the Transit, was launched in 2019, it includes a full-electric version, with a range of 217 miles, and a plug-in hybrid version, it also features a new design, and improved fuel efficiency, connectivity and safety technology.

In conclusion, the Ford Transit has a long and successful history as a versatile and reliable light commercial vehicle. Over the years, Ford has continuously updated and improved the Transit, making it one of the most popular and well-known vans in the world. Today, it continues to be a popular choice for businesses and individuals in need of a reliable and efficient commercial vehicle.
