Schools get special discount on Ford Transit minibuses

Ford dealers across the country are offering state education facilities such as schools and colleges an additional preferential discount of up to 17 per cent against the purchase of a Ford Transit minibus.

The Ford Transit minibus range starts with the nine-seat Shuttle Bus and includes 12-, 15- and 17-seat minibuses. All models are designed to carry occupants in a safe, spacious, well-equipped interior. The Transit provides a car-like ride and handling experience that is helpful to those who usually drive cars. Standard safety features on a Ford minibus include ABS, ESP, driver and passenger airbag on all models with additional latest generation seatbelts that suit both adults and children on 15- and 17-seat models.

Steve Kimber, commercial vehicles director, Ford of Britain, said: "The Ford Transit minibus line-up can accommodate everyone from a chess team to a football team. They appeal to schools for their reliability and class-leading design. Transit minibuses are easy to drive and handle which is a major consideration for teachers who would not normally drive such a large vehicle."

Education establishments looking to take advantage of the latest Ford School Bus programme should visit their local dealer, found via ford.co.uk.
