Ford takes hat trick in Continental Irish Van of the Year awards 2013
Again this year, Ford vehicles have been announced as winners of further prestigious awards. Just this last November the Continental Irish Van of the Year awards 2013, presented with endorsement of the Irish Motoring Writers’ Association, had proclaimed the Ford Transit Custom van as its ultimate winner. Coming top of the class, out from eight contenders for this annual award, the Ford Transit van placed ahead of the new Citroen Berlingo Airstream which came in second place and the new Peugeot Partner in third.
To make this a hat trick for Ford in the Irish market, the Fiesta van and Ranger pick-up also picked up award nods in their respective categories just this past week from the judges of the Continental Irish Van of the Year awards. The judges assessed and picked their winners based on load capacity, reliability, overall versatility, cost of ownership and drive comfort. From what we’ve seen and heard about Ford’s new Fiesta van, it’s not a surprise that our Celtic cousins rate it as highly too.
The Fiesta van is said to combine all of the things we love about driving a small car, like comfort and fuel efficiency with the practicality and productivity of a commercial vehicle. And let’s face it; you can’t launch a new vehicle nowadays without including some pretty amazing smart technologies. With options including cruise control, parking distance sensors, fuel usage trip computer, hands-free technology, Ford Easy-Fuel and DAB in-car entertainment, it’s easy to see how the Ford Fiesta van made the grade.
