Ford Transit Delayed Until 2015

TTAC has learned that the Ford has delayed the new full-size Transit van until 2015. This leaves Ford without a next generation full-size van to compete against the updated Sprinter and the Fiat-based Ram Promaster. Supplier issues were blamed for the delay, according to a source inside the Blue Oval. Also affected is the upcoming Transit Connect Wagon, though the timeline for the launch is unclear. The big Transit was originally slated for a late 2013 launch, but the revised schedule dictates a March 2014 launch at the earliest. Our source suggested it may be launched within a few months of the big Transit. The timing for the delay will leave Ford with a number of launches in the 2015 model year, among them the next generation F-150, Mustang, Edge and possibly the Lincoln version of the Ford Escape. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
