Its been some years now since Ford deserted these shores with their Car and Van Factories, and the Ford Transit is as British as the Doner Kebab. Thankfully there are still vans assembled in Great Britain, but those vans are in the main products of our beloved Stellantis, who despite a previous period of consistent whingeing and threats to do a Ford, have appeared to have settled down to "get on with the job" of making and selling vehicles in the United Kingdom.
Here's a little piece from Fleet News of the e-Transit from Turkey, anything but the "Backbone of Britain". No that particular accolade now better sits with our Netherlands-based congomerate Stellantis.

The launch of any new Ford Transit is big news for the UK fleet industry, with the iconic model range having been the backbone of the van sector for more than five decades.
However, for Mandy Dean, Ford’s commercial vehicle director for Britain and Ireland, the new E-Transit – the manufacturer’s first fully-electric van - is “massive”.
