About the Ford Transit Mk8
The Mk8 Ford Transit represents the most significant evolution of the world's most famous van, transitioning into a truly global platform. The 2020 mid-cycle update introduced the refined 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine and enhanced driver-assistance technologies like Side Wind Mitigation. In L3H2 configuration, it offers a long wheelbase and medium roof height, balancing a substantial 11.5 cubic metre load volume with urban manoeuvrability. It remains the benchmark for the segment, prized by collectors and fleet operators alike for its car-like driving dynamics and legendary durability.
