vehicle with panel van, double-cab- in-van, Kombi, Kombi van and the passenger-carrying Tourneo Custom up for grabs. Powertrains will include diesel, mild


hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric later in 2024.


Judges said of the Custom:


“The new Ford Transit Custom is an outstanding van. Available in more derivatives and with more power sources than ever, Ford has once more raised the bar for the competition in the crucial medium van segment.” What Van? introduced two new categories to the Pantheon of awards


for 2024; the Fleet Management Company Award, which went to Fleet Operations and the Security Award, which was won by Locks 4 Vans. What Van? was delighted to introduce Euro NCAP, which sets the benchmark for safety in the automotive sector, as the judge of the crucial


Safety Award. The organisation handed the prize to the new Ford Transit Courier for achieving the highest ever Platinum rating in its tests. Another highlight saw Andy Picton, residual value expert and respected figure within the LCV industry enter the What Van? Hall of Fame.
