Ford to help schools get the best Transit minibus deal

Ford has introduced a new programme that means state education facilities such as schools and colleges can get a preferential discount of up to 14 per cent when they buy a Ford Transit minibus.

The Transit minibus range starts with the nine-seat Shuttle bus and includes 12-,15- and 17-seat minibuses. All models are designed to carry everyone in a light, spacious, well-equipped interior. The superb driving experience gives car-like ride and handling. Standard safety features on a Ford minibus include ABS, ESP, driver and passenger airbag on all models with additional generation seatbelts that suit adults and children on 15- and 17-seat models.

Steve Kimber, commercial vehicles director, Ford of Britain, said: "Transit is a durable vehicle which is essential for instance when you need to get a sports team to matches on time. The safety and design features in Transit minibuses include car-rated seatbelt safety, electronic stability programme, ABS and dependability that leads its class."

Education establishments looking to take advantage of the latest Ford School Bus programme should visit their local dealer, found via www.ford.co.uk, to find out how much they can save.
