The Ford Transit was created through a collaboration between Ford Motor Company’s offices in Germany and the United Kingdom. The Transit van, originally known as Project Redcap, was the first Ford product designed for the whole European market. These two firms used their experiences and observations from the German Taunus Transit and the British 400E to develop a vehicle with influence and utility that extends far beyond Europe.
Transit vans are so widespread in both the United Kingdom that many people associate the name Transit with any large van. For nearly 40 years, the Ford Transit has been the best-selling van and commercial van market leader in the United Kingdom. Since its introduction in the United Kingdom, the Ford Transit has been a breeding ground for innovation, and it continues to set the standard for what cargo and passenger vans are capable of.
