It has been announced that Ford has joined the growing list of manufacturers involved with the FTA's Van Excellence scheme. The Freight and Transport Association scheme, founded in 2010, holds their members to a high standard of driver and vehicle operational codes amongst the light commercial vehicle sector. “We’re delighted to welcome Ford as a Van Excellence Partner” says Mark Cartwright, FTA’s Head of Vans and LCV’s. “Together with existing partners Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, FIAT and Isuzu our manufacturer partners now represent over half of the UK’s annual registrations. Their support is invaluable particularly as we develop a Van Excellence accreditation scheme for dealers.”

Van Excellence is an industry-led enterprise that aspires to:
