We have been looking for new vehicle for most of Q1. There has been some vehicle available but not many with air con or the size was too small. Dealers could only offer factory order which can take 10 months or longer for new transit (and other brands). Brokers were the only alternative for new vehicles. Due to supply chain issues number of new vehicles registered reduced significantly. Various makes and models have been offered however when it came to finally preparing for collection they turned out to be different spec in system than real life. This is a deal breaker for us, can’t imagine working without A/C, even now when temperature hovers around 18C.
Finally we found this new Transit L3 H3 cancelled order, highway maintenance spec. Normally we try to have plenty of driver comfort options on vans however this vehicle was not ordered for us specifically, it does have the absolute must A/C and Bluetooth but it is still awaiting parking aid.
On the bright side we can now enter strict delivery sites with our flashing beacons 🚧 In addition this van comes with a tow bar.

Addition of this new Transit brings our fleet to 3 Fords. Drivers do like the cab. Many features designed with driver in mind like large drink holder placed all over the space. Based on the current opinion of our driving team we will be looking for more Ford’s.
