Ford dealers across the country are offering schools and colleges up to 17% off when they buy a Ford Transit minibus.

The Ford Transit minibus range starts with the nine-seat shuttle bus and includes 12, 15 and 17-seat minibuses.

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
the 15 and 17-seat models.

Steve Kimber, commercial vehicles director, Ford of Britain, said: "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 www.ford.co.uk.
