Ford's compact van, the Transit Connect, is set to disappear from North American roads after years of service. The decision marks a significant shift in the company's van lineup, which has been a staple in many small businesses and fleets. Despite its popularity in Europe, where it has been a reliable and versatile workhorse, the Transit Connect will no longer be manufactured for the North American market. The move is likely a response to changing consumer preferences and the increasing demand for larger, more premium vans, but it remains to be seen what impact this will have on the company's sales and market share in the region.
Ford is discontinuing its Transit Connect in North America, but the van will live on as a European-only model.
