MOTOR parts supplier Kevin Cooper has replaced its entire fleet of light commercial vehicles with new Ford Transit Connects.

The firm previously ran Ford Escort vans.

Kevin Cooper, based in Plymouth, put together a deal with Lombard Vehicle Management to replace the Escorts with 39 Transit Connects on contract hire terms. The vehicles are used to deliver parts to local garages and to transport stock between depots in the south-west. Thirty have been delivered and the rest will follow in December.
