Sales Numbers - Ford Vans - Q2 2024 - USA

Regarding sales share, the Transit was at 71 percent, accounting for more than two-thirds of all Ford van sales. The E-Series followed with an 18 percent share, the E-Transit at six percent, and the Transit Connect at five.

The Ford Authority Take

Ford Transit sales again were up across the board in Q2 2024 year-over-year, discounting the discontinued Transit Connect. The perennial best-selling Transit led as always, while the dated E-Series remains an option in the marketplace to underpin campers, ambulances, and small buses, along with other light-duty vehicles. Finally, the E-Transit continues to grow as the all-electric van space heats up.

About Ford Transit

The Transit Trail variant joined Ford’s full-size van lineup for the 2023 model year, which is an upfit-ready off-road-oriented van that is geared toward the van and outdoor life enthusiast. Order banks for this model closed this past August.

Ford Transit launched in the over U.S. 10 years ago, with The Blue Oval celebrating its best-selling van commercially and beyond, offered as the Transit cargo and passenger van, off-road-focused Transit Trail, and all-electric E-Transit.

About Ford E-Series

Formerly called the Econoline panel van, the Ford E-Series was eventually replaced by the Transit and is now only sold as a chassis cab or stripped chassis configuration to underpin campers, ambulances, small buses, and other light-duty vehicles.

The current model remains largely unchanged, save for a few major updates such as the debut of the chassis cab variant five years ago.

The 2024 model year sees only minor changes. This includes the deletion of the Economy tune in favor of the naturally-aspirated Ford 7.3L V8 Godzilla engine. Moving forward, the E-Series will offer just one drivetrain calibration, with an output of 325 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, as its flex fuel capability option has also been eliminated from the lineup.

The 2025 Ford E-Series arrives with no updates.

Ford E-series production will continue at the Ohio Assembly plant until at least until April 2028, according to the deal that the United Auto Workers (UAW) secured with Ford.

About Ford E-Transit

When the all-electric Ford E-Transit van arrived on scene in early 2022, its success caught The Blue Oval by surprise, with it racing up to catch up with demand. Since then, the E-Transit is now among the most popular fleet EVs.

The 2024 Ford E-Transit gets a new battery and faster charging, for increased range.

The Blue Oval is already working on a second-generation Ford E-Transit, which will roll out of Ohio in 2026.
