Transit SWB

Now the standard by which all others are judged, the Ford Transit revolutionised the world of logistics with its affordable, ultra-reliable and extremely popular vehicles.

Ubiquitous on British roads, the Transit became the backbone of Britain and was used by logistics companies to cart almost anything around the country. You name it, the Transit carried it.

Since 1972 the UK Transit has been produced in Southampton. After bubbling under for several years the brand blew up and became globally known. Now being produced globally, plants producing Transit parts can also be found in Turkey, Vietnam, China and Russia.

The SWB version is the smaller of the modern Transit models. Standing for Short wheel Base, these models measure 2933mm from axle to axle and have an overall length of 4863mm.

The overall width of the Ford Transit SWB without mirrors is 1974mm and its overall height is between 1989 and 2070mm.

Despite being the smallest of the main Transit models, the SWB still boasts a maximum load space of 6.55 cubic metres and can carry a gross payload of 991kg. This is a testament to the durability of these famous vehicles.
