The
global automotive and mobility company, Ford, has offered explanation on the
return of van as a preferred vehicle for artisans since the 1950s, reports
ITRealms.
Recall
that plumbers, electricians, and the like use vans to transport their tools and
goods, and when families move home they call “The Man with a Van”.
ITRealms gathered that Africa’s vast distances and rough roads demand durability and
toughness, noting that in South Africa, for instance, if someone needs
something moved the appropriate thing to do is to generally ask a friend with a
van or bakkie.
Also, ITRealms gathered that the Ford Transit, has become one of the best-selling
vans in the world, since 1965 and is now available in South Africa in several
new and exciting configurations with added features.
Officials
confided in ITRealms that if you are looking for space, the Ford Transit Van
has 15.1 cubic meters of cargo space in the back, which is 15,100 litres or the
space to pack in 629 grocery shopping bags.
In
addition, ITRealms reports that there is Ford Transit Custom Sport, which is
available with all the same driving technology found in a luxury sedan. From
Ford’s hands-free SYNC 2entertainment centre,
lane-keeping alert, parking sensors, cruise control, rear-view camera, and
electronic stability control, the Ford Transit Custom Sport could be the new
ride for your family.
In
furtherance to convince potential customers, Ford outlined 10 best features of
Ford Transits including the limo, snowboarder, the artist, coffee shop, surfer dude,
caterer, animal rescuer, food truck, pet stylist and mobility van.
Ford
emphasised as follows:
1. The Limo
Stretch limousines are out of date. So Chicago-based Windy City Limousines converted their Ford Transit into a plush ride equipped to carry 13 passengers in luxury and style – with a wooden floor, black leather couch-style seating and two flat-screen televisions.

2. The Snowboarder
This
shred-ready Ford Transit is modified with a custom boot dryer, snowboard rack,
tuning bench and portable DJ booth to make snowboarding even more fun for its

of,” says So-Gnar CEO Pat Milbery.
