Even the company fleets like Scottish Gas and British Gas proudly owns it, eventually, every segment has been trapped by Transit vans. According to the business needs and daily usage of the Transit, it was necessary to modernise the Transit and minimise the repairing costs.

It will certainly improve the fuel economy of the Transit engines.
