Ford Pro has earned double honours, claiming the International Van of the Year (IVOTY) award and the International Pick-up Award (IPUA) for its all-new Transit Custom van and all-new Ranger pickup.
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 2013 and 2020.
The awards were presented during a special ceremony at the Solutrans commercial vehicle show in Lyon, France, and further validate Ford Pro’s position as a leader in the European commercial vehicle market.
Collecting the awards on behalf of Ford Pro, Tim Slatter, vice president of Product Programs, Ford, said: “This is a pride point for our Ford teams across the globe who strive to deliver quality-driven products for our customers. We are delighted that the jury has recognised the strength of our newest commercial vehicles, built with the purpose of supporting customers’ business needs across all vocations.”
An expert jury of 25 commercial vehicle journalists voted Ford Pro’s all-new Transit Custom 1,2 the winner of IVOTY 2024. After arduous on- and off-road testing by the IPUA jury in Greece earlier this year, the Ford Ranger 6,2 has picked up the IPUA crown for the third time – establishing a new record.
