With an additional runner-up award for the Ford Transit Connect, Ford took the title as the Most Reliable Manufacturer.
Steve Kimber, commercial vehicles director, Ford of Britain, said: "It is fantastic to see British businesses giving recognition to the vans that get the job done. Transit and its sibling, Connect, deliver a great ownership experience due to their low running costs, durability and reliability."
The survey, conducted by Fleet News (the UK’s leading trade magazine for company car operators), is based on feedback from multitudes of fleet vehicles and is the largest survey of its kind in the world.
