Car manufacturer Ford has racked up an impressive range of awards in 2007 for its commercial vehicles.

Ford, Ford Transit, Transit Connect and Ranger scooped 17 accolades last year from specialist media and key motor industry organisations.

Ford won three prestigious manufacturer awards, Ford Transit won nine awards, Ford Transit Connect won four awards and Ford Ranger was voted the Best Double Cab of the Year.

Steve Kimber, commercial vehicles director at Ford of Britain, said: “Our CV line-up has gone from strength to strength since new Transit was launched last year. Demand for Transit has led to extra production at the Southampton assembly plant. Transit outsells its top three competitors put together, and we are on course to end the year with an increase in sales for Connect and Ranger too.

“Receiving accolades for these products means a great deal to us as a company, because we are being judged by buyers and key industry influencers.

“We are extremely proud of the awards we have received in 2007,” he added.
