Raj Nair, Ford executive vice president, Global Product Development, and chief technical officer, offers some key information regarding Ford\u2019s ability to achieve such an outstanding feat:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe are focused on building on our clear global leadership in trucks, vans and commercial vehicles. While other manufacturers only offer their van lineups regionally, Ford has cracked the code on developing global van architecture that can be customized to regional needs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ford Transit history reaches back to 1965, when the first model rolled off the production line in England. However, the Ford Transit name didn\u2019t arrive to North America until 2013, replacing the Ford E-Series van lineup, which gained great popularity since it was first released in 1961. Through the years, Ford has built more than 8 million Transit and Transit Custom vehicles all over the world. In fact, when lined up end-to-end, every Ford Transit van would circle the entire globe.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10447\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2024\/03\/28170337\/2020-Ford-Transit-B2_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"2020 Ford Transit front view\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2024\/03\/28170337\/2020-Ford-Transit-B2_o-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/71\/2024\/03\/28170337\/2020-Ford-Transit-B2_o-1-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>You may also like: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/clp-2017-ford-transit-connect-vs-2017-nissan-nv200\">How does the Ford Transit Connect compare to the Nissan NV200?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Ford Transit cargo vans near Edmonton, AB<\/h3>\n<p>At <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sherwoodford.ca\/contact-sherwood-ford-in-sherwood-park-ab\">Sherwood Ford<\/a>, we are proud to carry a selection of Ford Transit models for tradesmen and fleets in the Edmonton, AB area.
