A popular commercial vehicle from Europe will go on sale in selected North American markets from mid-2009 onwards. The vehicle in question is called the Ford Transit Connect, and it's a light van that's aimed for the top of its class in the European marketplace.
Transit Connect was named International Van of the Year" for 2003 when it was first launched, and the automaker says that it's a fuel-efficient small-business alternative to a full-sized commercial van. Transit Connect also promises excellent durability and safety, partially due to its strong, thick body and high-quality assembly procedures.
Derrick Kuzak, group vice president global product development at Ford Motor Company, said "Transit Connect is another example of how Ford is intensifying its efforts to leverage the best of its product lineup around the world. Designed, engineered and manufactured by Ford of Europe to beat tough standards, Transit Connect has been a sales success for Ford across the Atlantic. It's an ideal option for owners of small businesses in the U.S."
North American consumers commonly feel 'left out' by carmakers who don't sell their overseas vehicles in our markets for various reasons.
