Ford Transit 60th anniversary

Powering the Pros – Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow By Hans Schep, General Manager, Ford Pro, Europe Our legendary Transit commercial vehicle celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2025, marking six decades of loyal service to businesses and communities around the world. Since the first vehicle left the production line in 1965, Transit has become a byword for getting the job done – reliably and efficiently. Fast forward 60 years, and a new generation of connected and electrified Transit vans is raising productivity to a new level. Commercial vans provide the backbone for the economy – supporting €1 trillion in economic activity across Europe alone – and Ford Transit vehicles play a significant role in the lives and jobs of millions of people. From getting workers to a building site, to keeping our stores stocked and delivering goods to our doors, or even rushing a patient to hospital, people depend on Transits to keep the world moving.
