Ford announces new contract with The AA11 May 2011

The AA has placed a huge order with Ford for Transit vans, increasing Ford's share of the organisation's 3,000-vehicle fleet to over 50%.

The AA is more than doubling the 247 Ford Transits it ordered in 2010 with recovery company's roadside rescue fleet gaining 450 new Transit vans. A further 50 vehicles will support the AutoWindshields division, which already operates a 100% Ford Transit fleet.

Sarah Dopson, AA fleet manager, says: "The order of 500 vans is in recognition of the quality and performance of the Ford Transit. The Transit meets all our requirements for affordable running costs and is the best vehicle for the job. The 500 Transits currently on order could rise by the end of the year."

"Ford and the AA have enjoyed a long and mutually beneficial relationship which is further strengthened by this new, large order of Ford Transits," says Ford of Britain direct sales manager, Paul Henderson. "We look forward to working with the AA to help maintain its status as the UK's largest roadside assistance organisation."
