Ford vans lead on reliability, survey shows 22 November 2013

For the second year running, Ford has been lauded as the most reliable van manufacturer and Ford Transit the most reliable van, according to a Fleet News survey of the 50 largest UK contract hire and leasing companies.

In this annual survey companies rank the best performing vehicles for reliability, based on breakdowns and warranty claims. It is the largest study of its kind in the UK with respondents representing a combined fleet size of 170,000 light commercial vehicles.

"Ford has been at the top of the UK commercial vehicle market for over 47 years, and is very proud to retain these important honours," states Phil Hollins, Ford UK fleet director.

"The company's strong results from this study are testament to the hard work of our design and engineering teams, based at Dunton, which continue to deliver class-leading products of the highest quality."

Ford is part-way through a transformation of its commercial vehicle line-up, which began with the introduction of the new Transit Custom in 2012, continued with the new Transit Connect this year, and will see the all-new Transit Courier and Transit follow in early 2014.
