Ford Pro has earned double honours, claiming the International Van of the Year (IVOTY ) award and sharing the International Pick-up Award (IPUA ) for its all-new Transit Custom van and all-new Ranger pickup, respectively.
Ford Pro has now won the IVOTY and IPUA awards in the same year on three occasions – more than any other manufacturer – following double wins in both 2013 and 2020. The Ranger shares this year’s award with the Volkswagen Amarok.
Ford Pro says further validate its position as a leader in the European commercial vehicle market.
In Ireland, Ford’s Ranger Raptor was also named Irish Commercial SUV of the Year at the 2024 Continental Tyres Irish Van of the Year awards, held on 3rd November in Dublin.
The new generation of Ford Pro’s Transit Custom van went on sale across Europe earlier this year, offering the widest choice of variants ever and introducing unique, digital and customer-led features such as a 5G modem for superfast connectivity; software updates for over 30 vehicle modules; Delivery Assist that can save over 20 seconds per stop; Alexa Built-in from the factory; a tilting steering wheel and versatile MultiCab bodystyle to build on the productivity benchmarks set by its predecessors.
The Ford Ranger is Ford’s most global product; developed by designers and engineers in Ford’s Australian engineering centre, and built in six Ford factories across four continents.
The all-new model’s off-road ability, refined on-road performance and high level of connectivity and technology make it popular with business and private users alike. Ford Pro also recently announced the Ranger PHEV 8 – Europe’s first PHEV pickup – said to combine electric driving capability with Ranger’s work-ready versatility.
