Transit is a light commercial vehicles series produced since 1953 by Ford Germany and Ford UK and conceived for European market. The front engine of these vehicles allows it to have a lower loading bed, which eases the loading process. Anyway the very first Transit was produced in 1965 by the German and British Ford together, expressly wanted by Henry Ford; this cooperation gave life to what is Ford Europe today and to the well-known vehicle MK I. In 1978 it was further reshaped and the MK II was born. In 1984 an aesthetic re-styling was made on the front bumper and to the engine, which was a 68 horsepower Diesel York of 2.5 L. These vehicles have been a commercial success not only in Europe, but still today the Transit name lives on as they are in production in many other markets.
