On the agricultural calender NAMPO is a huge event for this sector as well as the commercial vehicle industry.

Gavin Golightly, Ford Marketing Manager says, “The farming community is important to Ford, and it is important for us to engage with them which is why we are unveiling the Ford Transit panel van and chassis cab at NAMPO.”

“The new Transit is an exciting vehicle for us.  It marks an expansion of the Transit line-up in South Africa, and highlights Ford’s continued dedication to bringing commercial vehicles to South Africa.”

The Transit will be available in three versions: bus, panel van and chassis cab, all of which will make use of the 2.2-litre Duratorq engine, seen in the Custom.

With a 13 790 litres capacity and 207cm high load area the Transit van can be the perfect transport partner, for either goods or people. In chassis cab trim the vehicle can also be customised to fit a number of roles.

The 2014 Grain SA NAMPO Harvest Day Show will take place at NAMPO Park in the Free Start Farm from 14 – 16 May. The agricultural show is the largest in the southern hemisphere, with 70000 visitors visiting each year.
