THE first 20 new short wheelbase Ford Transits have gone to work for domestic heating manufacturer, Worcester, part of the Bosch Group.

The new Transits are part of a 250 strong replacement order by the firm, which has successfully run an all-Ford light commercial fleet for more than 10 years.

More new Transits will follow as existing vans come up for their three-year or 100,000-mile replacement.

They are sign-written and have internal racking by Bott Ltd of Ashby de la Zouch and all are on full-maintenance contract hire, through DaimlerChrysler Fleet Management.
