In 2019, Ford teased the electric Transit van and announced a Transit model for the European market.
Possible Rivals
Ford will face a band of tough rivals in the North American market. Mercedes-Benz has already revealed its electric Sprinter van. Moreover, Ford should look out for Amazon, General Motors, and Bollinger.
On the other hand, Ford has begun a solid alliance with Volkswagen. They’ve started working on commercial vans. Currently, the Transit is the best-selling cargo van in the US.
Autonomous Vans
Ford could also face rivals from autonomous delivery vans. FCA and Waymo want to develop a delivery van based on the Ram ProMaster.
