However, the two Transit Connect rivals from Nissan and Ram both saw an increase in sales volume, while the Ford offering was the only model of the three to see sales fall.

The compact van segment contracted less than 1 percent to 18,711 units in Q3 2020, meaning Transit Connect sales underperformed the segment average.
The Ford Authority Take
The numbers continue to speak for themselves: the Ford Transit Connect continued to dominate its segment during the third quarter of 2020, despite seeing a 5 percent sales drop, which we attribute to supply and availability issues associated with the coronavirus pandemic.
Transit Connect production at the Ford Valencia plant in Spain was down for about 60 days between the first and second quarters of 2020. Production of the van restarted in May, and we expect sales to see an uptick in the fourth quarter as availability improves. It’s also worth noting that Q3 2020 figures represented a substantial improvement in Transit Connect sales over Q2 2020, when only 6,760 units were delivered.
For the 2021 model year, Ford will discontinue the Transit Connect Taxi package, while also making a few minor changes to the compact van.
